Canine Companions for Independence Assistance Dogs

NAVRA members,

Below is a link to an online video that may be of interest to you and your colleagues. The video discusses how the use of facility dogs assists victims in the courtroom. A videographer for the Seattle Police Department created the video about Jeeter and Ellie, the two Canine Companions for Independence (CCI) Assistance Dogs who work in the King County Courthouse.

Representatives from King County’s Courthouse Dogs program will also be teaching a workshop at NCVLI’s 8th Annual Crime Victim Law & Litigation Conference, June 30th – July 1st in Portland, Oregon. This is an excellent opportunity to meet real CCI Assistance Dogs and learn more about the Courthouse Dogs Program. You can register for the conference at http://www.ncvli.org/conference.html.
