(Lawrenceburg, Ind.) - If you see a dog around the courthouse don’t be surprised. It is the newest member of the Prosecutor’s Office. Prosecutor Lynn Deddens today announced the adoption of Therapy Dog in Training, Bailey. Bailey is a 8-month-old goldendoodle who is in the process of being trained as an emotional support animal for victims of crime.
“Victims of crime are faced with the aftermath of what for some will be the most traumatic events of their lives.” Prosecutor Lynn Deddens said. “These victims are often the most vulnerable in our society such as children and the elderly. In the course of seeking justice, they must often relive the story of their traumatic event multiple times before and during a trial. Emotional support dogs have been used to great success to provide comfort to those victims.”
