Ben, a goldendoodle, is the newest Sheriff’s Office therapy dog.
San Mateo County Sheriff Christina Corpus announced a new therapy dog program: a community outreach initiative to bring comfort to people in crisis and help foster positive interactions between the Sheriff’s Office and the community.
Ben, a goldendoodle, is the newest Sheriff’s Office therapy dog. Ben’s sweet demeanor and ability to share unconditional comfort will help decrease symptoms of anxiety and improve the mood of those in crisis, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
“Our therapy dog program is aimed to enhance community outreach by recognizing the therapeutic impacts an encounter with a friendly canine companion can have on children and adults alike. Our goal is to expand this program to ensure community members in our coastal and Bayside communities have access to this resource,” Corpus said in a press release.
