‘We feel like people again’ | A program at prisons trains service dogs for police departments, veterans

BEDFORD HILLS, N.Y. –  To the outside eye, it is just a group of dogs playing in the yard. However, these pups are in the middle of a prison yard at a maximum-security prison in Bedford Hills, N.Y. getting training to become service dogs.

It is all part of “Puppies Behind Bars” – a pet project founder Gloria Stoga began more than 25 years ago that has grown to include six different prisons in New York and New Jersey.
