I think it’s a GREAT idea!! I remember watching an episode of Dog Whisperer where Cesar worked with some gals in a women’s prison somewhere, basically teaching them how to work with the dogs that had already been assigned to them. The best part was seeing all those gals gaining some self-respect and compassion for others to the point where Cesar could lead them all in a long pack walk on the prison property. It brought tears to my eyes. I’ll have to watch these webisodes later, as it is now time to put away the Kindle and do some things around the house.

That sounds like a really neat program, both for the death row dogs and for the prisoners!

My buddy, Walker, was a prison dog. He was bred by Southeastern Guide Dogs in Florida and raised at a women’s prison facility in Texas. He says it was a great place to grow up! Those women treated him and his brothers like royalty. And he heard a lot of conversation about what a positive impact it was on the women involved. In fact, the program was called IMPACT.

In reply to Pamela.

Sampson would love it, he’s just too enthusiastic. He has a habit of slapping with is paw to get more pets, I am working with him on it, but he’s not ready for public yet.

Right after the blizzard I took him over to meet our elderly neighbor with MS. She sat on the floor so he could greet her, but after a couple of minutes the paw came out and swatted her on the chest. I was mortified.

I am supposed to meet with my state rep to see if we can get some animal welfare laws placed and some kind of programs in the school whereby rescues would bring dogs in to meet the children and they would talk about the proper treatment of animals. I do think we can make a change if we can educate.

In reply to Roberta. It's great that Safe Harbor has this program with your local prison. I'd love to hear more about the blind and deaf mascot. I can't imagine a better place for a special needs dog since the routine is consistent and a dog never has to worry about furniture being moved around.
