more on their very important
job. Comfort doesn't get better
than a four legged for a friend
and Oakland County while they
are getting ready to send
comfort throughout the entire
community, with the first of its
kind, canine comfort unit right
, Woody bathroom there, the
first of their kind across the
country, a canine comfort unit
right here in Oakland County.
There, really a big part of it
is Knowing how to interact with
the public and kids. And then
being obedient when necessary,
Sheriff Mike Bouchard says.
Given the state of the world
today, he was on board for
anything that could bring more
did the community but internally
to his team as well. Well
they've helped in so many
situations, Mental health crisis
. Um we had one at a suicide
where the grieving widow was
there and as soon as the dog
showed up. Just clam down to the
dog, and you could see
immediately. It gave her
something to focus on and kind
of begin to deal with the
situation. We've had him at car
accidents where kids are
involved. There's the reopening
of Oxford School. What started
as a unit with 2 to 3 King
Charles Spaniels deputies has
now expanded with these 12.
Additional adorable pups. This
is all thanks to donors and
sponsors like Christopher, who
was the first to get on board
and supported the sheriff's
program. He's sponsoring this
cutie pie Max in honor of his
late father. I was looking at
Facebook and I saw the sheriff
post something and I could not
respond fast enough. When you
give back and I am honored to
have had this opportunity. Your
dad would think of Max Uh, he
would love that comfort. Canine
deputies joined nine other dogs
, all of whom serve different
purposes as members of the
sheriff's department, Sheriff
Bouchard says already, he's
noticed the different ways that
they're comforting people by
their presence as well as
handlers, most of whom are
school resource deputies. They
have been amazing. This county
hope seeing the impact that a
program like this can have
inspires others in law
enforcement to think outside the
box. Get a little creative,
especially when it comes to
serving your community Is Lewin,
