The Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office has inducted its newest and cutest member! Liam, a two-and-a-half-year-old black Lab/golden retriever cross, recently retired from The Seeing Eye breeding program, but his career hasn’t ended yet. Liam has found success with a new job as a K9 Therapy Dog.
The Coordinator of the Victim Witness Unit is currently training Liam. He is learning how to “provide comfort to victims attending the Prosecutor’s Office Child Advocacy Center (CAC) and the courthouse,” explains Prosecutor McDonald.
Liam will be a calming presence as survivors explain their experiences, which can be highly stressful. Having Liam by their side will help Victim Witness staff members continue to ease the stress of the victims and families they work with.
We are so proud of all the excellent work Liam will do and know he will positively impact each person he meets.
