Jail Dog Roxy dons a Christmas sweater during her weekly training as a part of Operation Second Chance, or the Jail Dogs program.
A group of dogs of various breeds and sizes are participating in a weekly training exercise at the Gwinnett County Detention Center. They follow basic commands like “sit” and “speak” and occasionally pull on the leash held by their handler, who is also an inmate at the jail.
Based on the happy tail-wagging and eagerness to train, it is hard to believe that the same group of dogs were each abandoned or neglected at some point, and narrowly escaped euthanasia.
