Brig dog placement
Stephen Hart, a U.S. Army veteran poses with Baara, a two and-a-half year old chocolate Labrador mix following a dog placement ceremony May 21, 2015 at the Naval Consolidated Brig Charleston on Joint Base Charleston, S.C. Baara was trained by inmates at the NCBC in partnership with Canines For Service, Inc. Canines for Service is a national program that provides disabled veterans with quality, trained service dogs. The program teams military prisoners at the NCBC with future service dogs, many that have been rescued from local animal shelters. Baara arrived for training at NCBC May 29, 2014 from the Doc Williams SPCA in Monck's Corner, S.C., and will assist Hart with both his mobility and posttraumatic stress disorder commands. Hart is excited to welcome Baara into his life and hopes he will help bring about a sense of normalcy to his life. (NCBC courtesy photo)
