The Lee County Cell Dogs program that I posted about a while back has really been a grand success. The city of Nashville has already adopted the program, and the Sheriff's Office is getting calls about it from all over the world.
One of the former handlers, an inmate who was serving time for DUI, created a website for the program when he got out. Be sure to check out the great pics.

Anyways, it's beneficial to all involved, and one more way to help get homes for good dogs.
On the former inmate's website, in the pictures of the dog named Jack, is a pic of Karen Feldman, the reporter who wrote about Lilly. If she hadn't have written about her, I'd be missing one pointy-eared, long-nosed tripod dog right now.
