I was fortunate to be able to view the Oprah show with Glenn Close speaking about the Puppies Behind Bars program. It is wonderful! Lab and Golden pups are being trained by inmates to be of service to the disabled. Glenn talked specifically about the dogs being trained to support the veterans as they return from raq. In one particular case, the dog serves as a lifeline or touchstone for a Sargeant returning with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
If you were or weren’t able to see it, here’s the link to their site with information and an opportunity to contribute.
To our men, women, and dogs in service – this one’s for you!
