A yellow Labrador retriever named Mitzie sat in a large room. Her trainer Sharon, an inmate in a New York State prison, gave a command. "Watch me!" It was an important skill for Mitzie to learn. One day she might be placed with a person who is unable to speak and only able to use his or her eyes to give directions.
Mitzie was being trained to assist a person with a disability. Learn about her and other dogs that are part of a program called Puppies Behind Bars. Find out how prison inmates and dogs work together, help each other, and ultimately make a big difference in the lives of people in the outside world.
