"Timothy Duncan house-trained Archie, a shepherd mix, and taught him how to sit. But Duncan isn't a suburban dog owner who might be spotted taking his pet for a walk around the block.
Instead, Duncan is an inmate at the Maine Correctional Center, and Archie is a participant in the Paws in Stripes program that places puppies and kittens with inmates for rehabilitation. Six months after being launched in Maine, the program is getting high marks."
