Description: "After four years of pleading, an Oklahoma prison inmate was at last granted his wish to start a dog rescue and training rehabilitation program. He would have to develop and operate the program without a penny of taxpayer or corporate prison money. With the help of a few remarkable volunteers, his very successful program soon proved that angry, lost men can be reintroduced to compassion, kindness, skill and self-esteem with assistance from a few canine therapists. This is the Pen Pals story--their struggles and triumphs."--
