Sora, a 1-year-old terrier mix, is getting a new home with a familiar face. The rescued puppy was trained by inmates at Erie County Correctional Facility in New York, where her new owner is an administrator. Thomas Diina, the Superintendent of Jail Management, fell in love with Sora after seeing a picture of her. "We had to euthanize our dog Jake about a month ago," Dina told WKBW. "This one just immediately reminded me of Jake. Same facial markings, same shape of her head."Sora has been housed at the prison since Dec. 16 and trained by inmates there as part of the "Pups at the Pen" program. Inmates train dogs from a local animal shelter with some help from Melissa Staniszewski, a trainer from Sit n' Stay Pet Services in Orchard Park. "It just gives them something to look forward to and work with," she said.Inmates Erin O'Connor and Alicia Szczublewski trained Sora. "(Staniszewski) teaches us stuff that we normally wouldn't know about animals and how to handle the animals, especially in a situation like this where she's a little rambunctious," Szczublewski said.Both inmates said working with Sora makes their days go faster. "I recently just lost my mother. She really helped me keep my spirits up about that," O'Connor added. "You get up in the morning and you get to go outside whenever you want because you get to take the dog out. You get more exercise," said Szczublewski. "You're not going to get as heavy as everybody usually does in jail. (The dogs) are therapeutic for us just as much as we are for them."
