Synopsis

Incarcerated women in the Prison Trained K-9 Companion Program, gain skills, self-esteem, and income by training dogs from all backgrounds. Launched in 2002 by Colorado Correctional Industries, the program benefits both inmates and children with serious medical conditions by providing trained dogs and preparing inmates for life after prison. It also gives dogs a second chance as a perfect marriage of ideas – saving humans through saving dogs.
