Palen Creek has become the third prison in Queensland to undertake the pawsome initiative to train Smart Pups Assistance Dogs for children with disability.
The program gives prisoners valuable skills, self-worth, confidence and the clear evidence of what can be achieved by investing in others less fortunate.
Despite the current pandemic, prisoners at the low-security centre have been receiving remote training modules so they can continue to prepare golden retrievers Twiggy and Fabio and chocolate labradors Beau and Foxx to become qualified working assistance dogs.
