On May 15, Oprah and Glenn Close will be discussing the Puppies Behind Bars DogTags Program. Puppies Behind Bars trains prison inmates to raise service dogs for people with physical or psychological disabilities. Some of the dogs are then used in the DogTags program, which prepares service dogs for U.S. soldiers coming home from Afghanistan and Iraq.

The video below shows more about the Puppies Behind Bars program. As shown on the Oprah Winfrey Show, $2 from the purchase of every DogTags Chewy Shoe is donated to the DogTags program. You can purchase the dog toys from FetchDog. Sunshine Rewards currently has FetchDog coupons, and there is also a chew toy coupon on the FetchDog site.

You have to watch the video below to truly understand the impact this program has on soldiers returning with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Take a few minutes to watch the video and then check out the DogTags Chewy Shoes at FetchDog.
