2-year-old Labrador retriever Penny has joined Victim Services Toronto as a trauma dog, taking over from retiring 9-year-old golden lab Dandy. The non-profit supports crime and tragedy victims navigating legal systems, with Penny trained to provide emotional support using calming and grounding techniques. High demand for the program, available to those as young as 2, relies on only one dog for the entire city.
