Christopher Vogt, a prisoner in the high security Sterling Correctional Facility in Colorado, is part of the “Prison Trained K-9 Companion Program.” Voght is the person who trained Clyde. Vogt learned to train dogs while serving his time and over the years has since earned permission to train dogs specifically for children with autism. Vogt learned the behavioral patterns of autism and has since trained some twenty dogs to help these children. That’s what I call giving back. In 2018, Volt will be eligible for parole. He has been serving a 48 year prison term for second degree murder. He has also written and even illustrated two children’s books about dogs helping autistic children.
“Mission Pawsible” is a similar program working inside 4 different Correctional Institutions located in Ohio. Prisoners earn the right to have a puppy to train. The inmates learn how to train the puppy while they in turn learn a valuable skill and earn the pride in knowing they will be helping some disabled child receive the freedom and protection only a service dog can provide. The inmates receive a photo of the child with the service dog they helped train after placement. “4 Paws for Ability” is another program that works with prisoners to train dogs. With the guidance of Certified Trainers, these dogs also go on to specifically help disabled children as well as veterans who have lost a limb or suffered hearing loss.
