Athens Visits Double Springs

Athens (sitting) visited our office in Double Springs today in order to assist Deputy District Attorney CeJe Hearn (far right) in a meeting with a child sex abuse victim. Athens is a facility dog, who is trained to comfort victims when testifying in court or when being interviewed. Also pictured are Athens’s handler, Elizabeth Moore, and two of our Victim Services Officers, Tammy Miller and Leslie Smith (far left).

Canine Companions© is an amazing organization that places these talented dogs free of charge with people and facilities where they provide support, comfort, and joy to hundreds. For more information on Canine Companions©, visit cci.org.
