Dogs in the Courthouse

Great testimonial regarding the power of the unconditional love of a dog!

Marvelous program!!

just like people are healthier when they have a feeling of self-worth, dogs seem to like that, too. the empathy and caring they exhibit are amazing. we've had so many dogs over the years and even though i'm used to seeing incredible talents from them, there are moments when they do things so profound and appropriate to the moment that you can understand some believe they're the souls of people from a former life. this is a great program!

Certainly testimony to the familiar cliche that a dog is "man's best friend." As someone once said, "I never met a dog I didnt like!". bt

My son is the very lucky beneficiary of a CCI dog. As for them looking sad, our dog looks sad even when she's playing in the backyard, or eating dinner. That's the nature of the lab face. She is most sad when she goes a couple of days without wearing her vest, and going out in public.

What a wonderful concept!! Especially with the children. Every state should have this!

That's so great! It's so neat to think of all the ways service dogs end up helping people.

What seems sad is the dog being serious, concerned and focused on a a very difficult task. Unlike a therapy dog, who is "on the job" for an hour or two once a week or once a month, these guys have a fulltime job, eight hours a day, five days a week. It takes an rare dog to do this. If we did something equally difficult, say, solving calculus problems all day, odds are we just might have a pretty focused expression at work, then turn cartwheels and roll in the grass when we got home at night.

CCI = Outstanding organization, Great people, Wonderful dogs... woof - woof...
