00:05.900 --> 00:07.400
- She's a comfort dog.

00:07.840 --> 00:09.870
Now most people will think about that

00:09.870 --> 00:11.800
and they think, animal-assisted services,

00:11.800 --> 00:12.810
like a service dog.

00:12.930 --> 00:16.090
Her primary goal here is to be a comfort dog

00:16.270 --> 00:18.130
for victims, sexual assault victims

00:18.130 --> 00:19.180
that come into our office

00:19.180 --> 00:23.040
that find value in animal-assisted services.

00:23.750 --> 00:25.810
We want Suzzy to be here for outreach,

00:25.810 --> 00:29.110
so when people come in and they connect with her,

00:29.140 --> 00:30.140
they don't have to have a case.

00:30.140 --> 00:32.740
They can just come in and learn more about our SAPR office

00:32.740 --> 00:34.020
and visit with the dog.

00:34.370 --> 00:35.736
Suzzy was the right fit

00:35.736 --> 00:37.870
because she had just the right mix.

00:37.910 --> 00:40.630
She was excitable when she needed to play

00:40.630 --> 00:43.250
and when someone wanted to get her feisty,

00:43.360 --> 00:45.730
but she was also very relaxed.

00:45.827 --> 00:47.640
And that's what we were looking for

00:47.640 --> 00:49.960
with an animal in this office.

00:51.670 --> 00:53.600
- That gives the average airman a reason

00:53.600 --> 00:54.970
to come into this office.

00:54.970 --> 00:57.330
There's no bad reason why they're here.

00:57.390 --> 00:59.690
It's just they see a dog,

00:59.690 --> 01:01.970
they want to pet them and because they've been here,

01:01.970 --> 01:03.610
they know and they might be able

01:03.610 --> 01:05.160
to help somebody in the future,

01:05.170 --> 01:06.770
because they can direct them on where to go

01:06.770 --> 01:07.820
if something happens.
