The article ”How puppy love helps US prisoners” is about an inmate, Danny Johnson, who’s near the end of a 10-year sentence for aggravated kidnapping and burglary. He got arrested after he broke up with his girlfriend and ran into her house armed with a rifle. He doesn’t talk to her or his children anymore. Yet Danny stays positive and keeps focusing on his future. He has planned to set up an animal shelter after his release. He says that helping the dogs helps him.

Nobody is born evil. Nobody is born to be a criminal. It’s the lack of our natural needs that makes us do bad things. For some it might be the lack of love or a caring family. For others it might be the lack of money. We trust people until they give us a reason not to. When we think of inmates, we immediately think of all kinds of negative things. We think that murderers are cold hearted creatures. They might be now, but they weren’t always like that. Something bad happened to them, something that hurt them so much, that they lost the ability to sympathize others. In other words, they lost the ability to show compassion. And that’s when I think it’s such a great idea to make inmates help abandoned and/or mistreated animals. The animals recover, and so does the inmates. They learn to be compassionated again and that’s wonderful.
