Shelter dogs would provide therapy for distressed border agents under new bipartisan push
Fox News
A new bipartisan bill would establish a pilot program for the federal government to train shelter dogs to become service animals for struggling Border Patrol officers.
It would build on the existing Canine Support Program established by CBP early last year in the face of mounting concerns about agents' mental health as they deal with the ongoing border crisis.

"These men and women work long hours year-round and face enormous challenges head-on," Gonzales said in a press release. "By improving access to canine therapy support, this legislation will give our law enforcement one more tool to improve mental health outcomes at CBP."
