San Mateo County Sheriff Christina Corpus announced Friday a new program within her office that she leads, "Therapy Dog," a community outreach initiative to bring comfort to people in crisis and help foster positive interactions between the Sheriff's Office and the community.
This initiative, the Sheriff's Office detailed in a statement, is a commitment to strengthen its bond with the community.
Ben, the furry companion who has joined this law enforcement agency, has a sweet demeanor and the ability to share unconditional comfort that helps reduce anxiety symptoms and improve the mood of people in crisis.
