Gloria Gilbert Stoga, president of Puppies Behind Bars, joins Aaron to talk about the nonprofit that trains prison inmates to raise service dogs for wounded veterans and first responders. Aaron and Gloria discuss the People Magazine article that inspired Gloria to quit her job and start a nonprofit, the challenges of working with prisons and raising over 1,200 dogs, and how dogs can bring people from such different backgrounds and life experiences together. Listen in to hear about how Gloria’s view of inmates has shifted over the past 20+ years.
