Part 4/9:
One of the most remarkable aspects of Hero Pups is its partnership with the Miramack County Department of Corrections. Inmate volunteers are actively engaged in training the dogs, providing basic obedience and socialization. Derek, an inmate participant, shares how this experience makes him feel valued and offers a positive outlet for personal growth. He expresses gratitude, noting that helping train the dogs not only benefits the animals and the veterans but also brings a sense of purpose that he had long been missing.
