Rare Dog Gives Prison Inmate A Second Chance | Dogs With Jobs

[@eileenoreilly1979]

These types of programs should be federally funded- it's that important on so many levels. ❤ Bless you all

It is about time that the prisons in this country start to get the inmates involved in turning their lives around, and by getting the dogs ready to become search and rescue animals the dogs and the inmates have second chances in life. Other countries think that the inmates in their prisons should learn skills so that when they're released, they'll become better citizens.

This program is nearly 30 years old. There's one for horses and cats too, at other penitentiarys.

Too bad some folks think all convicts are the same and deserve no rights or privileges

Much respect to Rick, the joy beau shared with him was outwardly visible. He brought out the best in Rick and vice versa. I think it gives inmates a purpose and gives them alot of happiness and teaches both themselves and the animal empathy and a pupose

What a wonderful program. My animals bring out the best in me!

[@asc3998]

This is such a great program, it gives second chances to both the dogs & the inmate. They both blossom.

Dar's sense of smell is ten times or more better than people's sense of smell. Animals senses are heightened better than ours, and I would definitely trust them over most people.

I am so happy to see these inmates are happy and smiling and the pups are being loved and also happy.

Beau/Bo looks like a blue Australian Cattle Dog, whatever his breed, he’s gorgeous! ❤

[@Millie-uf9pn]

It's amazing, it's like Rick finally found his calling/profession in prison.

❤ absolutely marvellous,,,a wonderful idea😊😊😊❤❤

This is a terrific program giving a dog, prisoners, and people needing a therapy dog a second chance. I truly despise so-called owners who abuse, their pets. Why do they even attempt to buy an innocent animal. More prisons need these programs. However I have seen prisons around the country have both men, women in prisons train much needed dogs for theapy dogs. Yeah DAR , Firedog beautiful German Shepherd Yeah Jack and the Flying Dogs. Glad Bill adopted him. Bad that Vet used Jack for blood transfusions then when it was over he wanted to put him down..grrrr

[@carolynhague7199]

Hope she recovers and cruel owner is jailed

[@lynnetrathen4587]

Did I just see him give Jack water but not the other two???

[@NotRussianBadger97]

It's to share

[@charmjasmi]

hydrocarbon can damage the lungs of dogs ! they should not train the dogs to do that, suffering and shortening life spans of dogs

[@jamesconnolly1201]

This only helps the Dog,the inmates are in Prison Forever.
