00:00.651 --> 00:02.010
(door closing)

00:02.010 --> 00:03.490
- She's a comfort dog.

00:03.980 --> 00:06.010
Now most people will think about that

00:06.010 --> 00:08.930
^and they think animal-assisted services like service dog.

00:09.070 --> 00:11.090
^Her primary goal here is to

00:11.090 --> 00:14.260
be a comfort dog for sexual assault victims

00:14.260 --> 00:16.010
that come into our office that find

00:16.230 --> 00:19.160
value in animal-assisted services.

00:19.557 --> 00:21.930
We want Susie to be here for outreach

00:21.930 --> 00:25.240
so when people come in and they connect with her,

00:25.270 --> 00:26.260
they don't have to have a case.

00:26.260 --> 00:27.680
They can just come in and learn more about

00:27.680 --> 00:30.150
our SAPR office and visit with the dog.

00:30.500 --> 00:31.990
Susie was the right fit.

00:31.990 --> 00:34.010
It's because she had just the right mix.

00:34.040 --> 00:36.750
She was excitable when she needed to play

00:36.750 --> 00:39.380
and when someone wanted to kinda get her feisty,

00:39.490 --> 00:41.870
but she was also very relaxed,

00:42.350 --> 00:43.760
and that's what we were looking for

00:43.760 --> 00:46.100
with an animal in this office.

00:47.481 --> 00:49.280
^- That gives the average airmen

00:49.280 --> 00:51.100
^a reason to come into this office.

00:51.100 --> 00:53.450
There's no bad reason why they're here.

00:53.520 --> 00:56.860
It's just they see a dog, they wanna pet them,

00:56.890 --> 00:58.120
and because they've been here,

00:58.120 --> 01:00.300
they know and they might be able to help somebody

01:00.300 --> 01:02.300
in the future because they can direct them

01:02.300 --> 01:04.200
on where they go if something happens.

01:04.388 --> 01:06.010
