People have an idea about you when they see you with these green pants on, and I understand that these stereotypes are not wholly unfounded, but they’re not always fair. I wanted to be able to give back in the sense of doing something that’s not self-serving. I’ve been doing college and other programs in prison, but those only benefit me. To take care of another life, it’s the biggest responsibility, and I take it as an honor. I’m being trusted to fulfill a higher purpose, to stay the course and do the right thing. Depression is par for the course when you’re incarcerated, but it does help mitigate that depression in the sense that what we’re doing has meaning. You have to shut your emotions off sometimes so that you don’t overly miss your family, and you have to numb yourself so you don’t get a broken heart. Being in Puppies Behind Bars, you have to open your heart back up. There’s no way you can successfully raise one of these puppies without allowing yourself to love them, and to receive that love. In this way I can do something for society that I betrayed when I committed my crimes. The guys in this program feel the same way as far as being happy to be trusted again, and I would hope that anyone who can keep Puppies Behind Bars going would extend themselves and do that.” Thanks to your generosity, The Dogist Community has raised an amazing $25,000 so far for @puppies.behind.bars! 🙌 We’re almost at our goal of $30k! Puppies Behind Bars relies entirely on private donations, all of which go towards the raising of the puppies, covering the costs of veterinarian care, dog food, bowls, toys, leashes, crates, other supplies and training. If you are inspired by their story, please consider making a donation today! @puppies.behind.bars」9月28日 0時12分
