The emotional reunion at San Quentin prison showcased the impact of a puppy training program started in April 2023. Incarcerated men, Chase Benoit and Jared Hansen, reunited with the dogs they trained, Wendel and Artemis. The event allowed them to reflect on their journey and highlighted the meaningful purpose they found through the program. The program aims to change lives both for the men and the disabled individuals benefiting from the trained service dogs, forging deep connections amid challenging circumstances.
Being in this program, it's given me something that I think I've searched for my whole life, and that was meaningful purpose, doing something that's good, better, bigger than myself and feeling like I'm part of something great.
The emotional reunion brought together Chase Benoit, Jared Hansen, and the 2-year-old dogs they helped train: Wendel and Artemis.
