trifecta Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 If you have a spare 15 minutes this is worth listening to..... Puppies Lending a Helping Paw ....particularly towards the end where dogs are trained to call emergency services by dialling 911 if their owner is having a panic attack. I know we have dogs being raised in the prison system here with tremendous results for inmates, but this program goes one step further, & could potentially save Governments hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Robbi Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 It seems like everybody benefits from this puppies behind bars program- prisoners, returned soldiers and society would be great to see something like this in Australia(or is there a similar program here)?

trifecta Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 No I don't believe there is Robbi. I actually come into contact with DVA patients as part of my business, & there is an increasing number of Vets, both Military & AFP, who are seeking psychiatric therapy. I think such a program would be popular in Australia & could save the Government a lot of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mila's Mum Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Fantastic listening - I love hearing about things like this Society owes so much to dogs, it's such a shame that more isn't done to protect them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
