00:04.820 --> 00:07.440
So Griffin Paul , it's just something I ,

00:07.519 --> 00:09.840
I came up with , uh , name wise at

00:09.840 --> 00:13.720
least , uh , but it is a way to

00:13.720 --> 00:17.299
connect with our SAA clients . In the

00:17.299 --> 00:19.760
base at large . Maisie is a Velcro dog ,

00:19.950 --> 00:23.709
that's for sure , um . She is ,

00:24.020 --> 00:27.620
she's very receptive on emotions just

00:27.620 --> 00:30.139
last week we brought Maisy to an event

00:30.139 --> 00:33.419
at the chapel and uh a member was

00:33.419 --> 00:37.139
visibly upset and Maisy went right to

00:37.139 --> 00:39.860
her and I told her I said you made a

00:39.860 --> 00:41.916
friend for the rest of the afternoon

00:41.916 --> 00:44.259
she's not gonna leave your side . um

00:44.259 --> 00:46.315
Maisy went and greeted somebody else

00:46.315 --> 00:49.380
and then went right back and stayed

00:49.380 --> 00:53.099
with her . And almost demanded pets to

00:53.099 --> 00:55.830
make sure that she was gonna be OK .

00:56.419 --> 00:58.970
Dogs just know and , and that's her ,

00:58.979 --> 01:01.880
her disposition . She's very . Very

01:01.880 --> 01:04.440
bubbly and very eager to please and

01:04.440 --> 01:06.680
just happy to be here so that that's

01:06.680 --> 01:09.739
Maisy's personality . An important part

01:09.739 --> 01:12.510
of the program that we're doing here in

01:12.510 --> 01:16.230
the Saper office with the dogs is

01:16.230 --> 01:19.949
to reiterate connection and

01:19.949 --> 01:23.870
trust with people . Her sole job is

01:23.870 --> 01:27.800
to just provide comfort . As

01:27.800 --> 01:31.000
is my job , I , I'm , I need to help

01:31.000 --> 01:34.879
people uh find their voice , find their

01:34.879 --> 01:37.160
strength , and provide them comfort

01:37.160 --> 01:39.382
when they may feel that they don't have

01:39.382 --> 01:42.680
it and she is just another uh tool in

01:42.680 --> 01:44.800
our tool kit , uh , to do that so I I

01:44.800 --> 01:47.790
think I think emphasizing comfort ,

01:48.559 --> 01:52.360
uh , trust and connection through

01:52.360 --> 01:54.000
her is is important .
