    “They’ve done wrong and they were punished for it, but let’s give them a chance to do something right”
    That is the most beautiful thought and the main reason why these programs are so great

    25:20 😭 He lost his puppy with his daughter’s birthday that was his family. If she gave instructions, updates, corrections, or advice, they didn’t show it. She just took the dog he bonded with and treated him like he was insignificant and a failure. The same guy who didn’t want anyone else to train his dog because he was afraid for her. What kind of message did this send to him? That’s a stupid question. We all saw it.

      This program is more about the men in the program than it is about the dogs. She could get funding and run a program without them. To come into this space knowing the many dynamics they are challenged with overcoming, she needs to find a greater sense of humanity to help them. Punishing them does nothing to benefit them. They have already been punished throughout their lives. She needs to be able to connect with them to help them discover their own humanity. Compassion is essential. They already familiar with dealing with toughness

All of these dogs looked so happy with them. It is safe to say they were taken good care of

    I personally adopted our darling Honey Bear from the prison dog program in the Roswell RCC, New Mexico. She has been with us for @ 2 years. She arrived, delivered by a volunteer, in perfect health and beautifully trained. I began my relationship with the dog program by donating lots of special treats and toys from Chewy. A group of friends and I pooled our money to send them lots things that were pre approved by the prison. When Miss Honey became available I scooped her up. The inmates that were involved in the dog program sent us a lovely thank you note with a picture of all of them. The vet in Roswell who helped with the dogs included a lifetime no charge care package for Honey. We live @90 miles away from this precious vet, plus we have a trusted vet, so we have not used this most generous gift. He and his clinic want to insure these animals are well taken care of for life. Miss Honey and her brother Bo live high in the mountains and run freely surrounded by people who love them dearly. I am most grateful for the prison dog program.

    Luis Diaz wasn't sure he had a right to be proud of his accomplishment because of the crime he committed in the past. The crime he committed does not mean he cannot be proud of good things he does. His crime and his dog training are completely separate things. he shouldn't have to forfeit the right to feel good about himself because of his crime. He made a two-year, full-time commitment to raising and training a service dog for a veteran who needs help. Luis has every right to feel proud.

      It's a thousand-yard stare. It can happen when the sympathetic nervous system has been extremely aroused for over a prolonged time period due to war. Eventually the dorsal vagus nerve can shut down the entire system and one can go into freeze state. This can be full collapse, dissociation, or a more partial freeze such as an inability to think clearly or access words or emotions, or to move parts of the body including eyes.

    I had a prison dog. His name was Cameron. He was a great dog. The only thing I wish I could (or should of sought out if I could have done) was sent photos of Cameron back to the inmate. I believe the inmattes have their whole hearts in these dogs training them. We got Cameron (name inmate gave the dog) by accident, but it was totally meant to be. I wish I would of kept in touch with the inmate to let them know how Cameron was and doing in life. If you get a prison dog, see if thats possible. No need to send photos of yourself, your family or your kids. But perhaps that dog is the one dog who makes them stay straight. Be it in prison for life or on the outside on parole. Id like to thank the inmate who helped Cameron adapt to the world and be a great dog for my kids. Cameron lived to 16 years old.

I did feel so sad for Shannon, who had called the pup his world, his best friend, but who was ultimately dropped for lack of progress. He had such love and kindness in his eyes at that moment. I hope he gets another chance sometime or gets a chance to own a dog of his own. I'm not sure, but this must have been made over ten years ago, judging by the paroled dates at the end, and just recently uploaded. If so, I hope the relationships lasted and thrived for all concerned. Thanking all involved with the program for their humanity and dedication, and a special thanks to the featured Veterans and their loved ones for their service and their sacrifice 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇸.

They do not do the same work as service dogs, which are trained for life and death situations. These dogs are not being trained to disarm them.

    The graduation made me both cry and happy. happy that the veterans got their dogs and sad for the inmates as they lost their best friends. I felt so bad for Luis, who was so disappointed that his dog didn't make the cut, but he should be proud that she will become someones pet.

    The inmates who are in this program are less likely to ever come back to prison.. it helps them, it helps the dogs, it helps the people who get the dogs.. win-win! Even fostering kittens has this same effect.. and there's more than enough of kittens and shelter dogs that have no training that are "unadoptable"..

      ​@@Micfri300 if you mean the dogs that failed at being a service dog - it happens. Some dogs just aren't up to snuff. Just like with people, some just dont quite have the talent for certain things like gymnastics or painting. But the dog will be someone's beautiful pet!

    I like the idea of training puppies ,giving those in prison something to take care of and love.
    The most painful thing in true love is loss
    Loss of the connection between Dog and trainer in jail would break my heart.

    The dogs are SO gorgeous ! I think the instructor needs to knock it down a few notches. The language is not necessary. I do like that prisons can help veterans in this way. It helps that prisoner too. When that dog responded to the prisoner on the ground by running to the phone, taking it off the receiver and then running back to the guy and lay down, it choked me up. That is just so incredible. This is a wonderful program.

      People don’t realize if the dog is not trained right it’s a matter of life or death to the vets who get them afterwards. She’s being task oriented and OF COURSE THEY SCREEN THE PEOPLE SHE TRAINS BEFOREHAND! They won’t let someone get hurt.

      Veterans are not the only people with PTSD, just pointing that out. When you sign up, that’s what you are signing up for. Let’s not play stupid like they don’t know what they are signing up for. More than just veterans need PTSD dogs, and most of us didn’t kill a bunch of women and children in order to get PTSD.

    How dare that instructor tell this man who has obvious trauma that he isn't utilizing his dog enough and we won't send you home with the service dog if you're not going to use her as a service dog. Well this man is not used to having a dog with him all the time and I can tell you from experience that beginning transition is very difficult. It doesn't feel normal until it becomes your new normal and this lady has really big balls to even address him the way that she did because like he said she's just giving a lot of negative feedback saying well if you do this and that we're not giving you the dog... Well b**** I thought I was here to get a dog and learn how to use her and I'm sure she'll be utilized just fine thank you

Some of the things the inmates went out of their way to make it special for everyone by making the pouches and blankets. This video made me cry, because I feel the pain and was surprised at how much love and dedication was put into these pups and how the inmates were proud like parents. It's beautiful how much this has done for both sides.
