Wonderful news from Laura Johnson of The Kennel Klub on Lanzarote.
26/1/2019 - Today we are privileged to have been able to go in to the penitentiary centre in Tahiche with one of our dogs. This is all thanks to prison officers, especially Urko, who has spent almost a year organising and making it possible. It's a fantastic opportunity and experience for inmates and dogs alike.
The inmates get some time out of the ordinary prison routine, they get to learn, they are able to interact with dogs who always make things better and it's a therapeutic group activity.
INDIA, the Podenco who accompanied us today, also got a break from the kennel routine, she got to socialise and she got lots of cuddles and treats!
Thanks to Rina and Aridani who were part of our volunteer group today. Rina has studied using dogs as therapy animals and today gave a talk on responsible pet ownership as well as a number of other issues. It's wonderful that this initiative has been organised using rescue dogs that are just waiting for a second chance in life. We are very grateful to have been involved. Thank you all!
