A story of our friend - Carly Ottenbreit - paves the way for the main topic of this episode. Most (if not all) dog parents would say that dogs changed their life for the better. Believers in this idea took it even further and created special rehabilitation programs for prisoners. Groups of prisoners in multiple countries learnt how to train dogs which led to various positive changes in their lives. Mina Sild, Emma Jäger and Barbara Cooke helped us learn more about this phenomenon from their own unique perspectives.
