I've had the pleasure of meeting Sarge the therapy dog at VA in Norman. He is very good at his job and the veterans love him. What a wonderful program at Lexington and thank you everyone that made this possible.

Aww sweet Sarge , lucky you😍

Being locked in a cell isn’t rehabilitation,, this is positive and calming,,so I think it’s a very clever idea...

That vet should run for office. I wish more good people who have real impact in society were more interested in government. I can see why not but this is the kind of program that proves a person has the intelligence, patience and compassion to build something that works and has a positive impact on society.

Hello Kayan how's the weather over there

So many prisons need to change their mentality, become more humane and get with programs like this🙏🏽🐾❤️

You guys are doing a beautiful job with all these beautiful furbabies thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️

I want this program to spread all over this country and the world. There are nothing but benefits for all involved. A simple way to make lives better and even the bean counters have to agree. God bless all of you.

That was so sad. I'm sorry for your loss with your daddy.

Dr. Otto is an absolute gem. Thank you for doing this. I am so glad the program is back up & running again. ❤️

It’s a shame states can’t seem to justify funding such incredible programs like this. It couldn’t possibly cost that much.

I enjoyed this documentary quite a bit. It's nice to see something uplifting once in a while.

When they brought Sarge to the nursing home and he ran up to the guy in the chair and started giving him kisses it made me cry ❤❤ he’s going to bring so much joy to so many people!!!

My uncle was in the program had a little poodle bichon mix named cotton, it was always funny to me this big masculine mans man with this little poofy white puppy. My grandma got him after the training was done and he died a year ago. He was an awesome dog and it was also like having a piece of my Uncle back home with us. He is on a life without charge for drug charges. One of my Uncle’s friends painted a picture of him and sent it to my grandma after he had passed.

Love these dog therapy videos. Great for the inmates to give them responsibility and help others, loving dogs. It's a win- win situation. Yeah Star and Marvin. The tears are filling my eyes. And Mr Miller and Sarge. It's so sad when the inmates have to give away their dogs but other people need them too. SECOND CHANCE IS A FANTASTIC PROGRAM. With the dogs, inmate handlers, Dr Otto. Thank you Dr Otto for your.love of dogs and rehab with the inmates, and dogs. Sunshine is gorgeous

God Bless You Dr Otto !!!!!!!!!!you made me cry of joy

Wonderful, wonderful program! Congratulations to the inmates for their hard work with the dogs, and to the prison admins for implementing this program! Recidivism decreases from 50% to 13% with programs like this! All prisons need this program.

these programs are awesome. Every State needs to have these programs.

Thank you for making this documentary and posting it. This program is such a blessing. God bless you and your family.

Amazing and inspiring. Thank you Dr. Otto for taking the time to talk to me and then passing on information about this film. It is a wonderful demonstration of what can be achieved when the veterinary community gives back like you are doing. You have shown me what is possible and for that I am grateful. Thank you! Carrie

Dogs are one of Gods best blessings.......I'm happy if any of these dogs came from an abused background that they have a new purpose in life and is able to receive endless love and kisses

I just cry my eyes out every time I watch one of these episodes.

Dogs are amazing. My dogs have helped me thru some really hard times. I had an american bulldog named Piper. Unfortunately she was stolen from me last september. I am devestated. I will not stop looking for her.

I feel bad for the inmate😮s, i know quite well how it feels to love a dog and lose them. But i think the inmates should be quite proud of themselves. 😊

Serge is gonna bee so spoiled whit love and treats.

The prisons in the entire world DESERVE more programs like this. Why in the hell are prisons not promoting this idea more and more?

These guys do a fantastic job x

Nice program! I believe it makes inmates leave prison better people than they were when they entered.

The dogs were also killed if not for the prisoners . Great work guys !

This program is a dream! It still hurts to see man's heart ripped out just a little 😢

THIS IS AMAZING GOD BLESS YOU FOR EVER!!!!!!!

This is a great video highlighting an outstanding program that I had no idea was even in operation in Oklahoma. I am so proud my state has made a success of it for 22 yrs, but disappointed that it hasn't gone out to find outside funding to get this program in more facilities where it is so very needed. Surely there is a way to put together donations & publicity to get this going. What do we need to do!?!

Choke collars and prong collars. Inmates using torture devices on animals.

That why i say they should send all the animal abuses to these guys and these places that traines the dogs 🐕 can train all the animal abuses but the judges wont send the abuses there
