In August of 2015, our office joined the Michigan Canine Advocacy Program (CAP), by welcoming “Joey” to our staff. CAP was developed in Michigan in 2009, “to provided services to child victims utilizing a highly trained dog to help alleviate the anxiety associated with being in court.” The program provides a canine advocate to accompany a child to interviews as well as court appearances. It has been well documented that a child’s anxiety is dramatically reduced by the presence of a canine advocate. Joey was provided to us by CAP at no cost to the county, after having been trained by the Leader Dogs program.
