The treatment of our animals is a direct reflection of the state of our society. The original mission of Humane Societies was to serve the most vulnerable populations. In returning to that basic foundation, todays SPCAs and Humane Societies go beyond shelters and adoption centers and are working to better the lives of animals AND people. In this episode we meet children who, through training dogs-at-risk, learn the lifelong lessons of empathy, kindness, and compassion.
