Another Story of Prisoners Training Service Dogs

Dog newsAt a prison in Monroe, Washington, inmates are participating in a program wherein they train dogs who will become service animals.

A prisoner named Darin Dodge is quoted at KOMOnews.com saying, “After being in prison 21 years, you get to wake up in the morning and the first thing you got is a four-legged furry dog breathing down your neck wanting some attention … Knowing that these dogs are going to help people that are handicapped… that probably have a lot more bad days than even the worst circumstance a guy can have in prison.”

A true win-win situation.
