(ANIMAL CONNECTION) TEXAS — The Victoria Regional Juvenile Justice Center has started a pilot program called the Dream Seekers Animal Rescue and Training. So far, the program includes Alice, a 2-year-old dachshund/terrier mix, and Devin Olguin and DeAndra Moffett, her first trainers. The idea is that by helping to train an animal, incarcerated youth will develop certain character traits like empathy, responsibility, and patience. Wonderful programs like this, including Prison Tails, which matches prisoners with ‘unadoptable dogs,’ are becoming more popular as they continue to yield positive results. Read on to find out how these programs help rehabilitate both animals and people. — Global Animal

Sometimes i think that they are the only things that will rehab humans.

Yes!
Of course! No doubt about it!
Yes! There was a show on TLC called Cell Dogs and it was the same type of program for adults. So wonderful to see these men get to experience unconditional love, most likely for the first time ever. To see a murderer cry over a dog is powerful.More…
