The two shook hands with Qin Shiou, and then Hobott said: "Hello, Mr. Qin, thank you for your contribution to the economic development and philanthropy of St. John's, Louis and I have been friends with you for a long time. I came to you this time to cooperate with you on a project, that is, to borrow your two dogs and let them be used as court therapy dogs, I don't know if you are interested. ”

Qin Shiou heard this term for the first time, and asked strangely: "Court therapy dog?" What's that? ”

Hobott smiled and explained to him, "Actually, to put it simply, it's to invite your dog to the court to accompany some plaintiffs or witnesses. Sometimes, these people are afraid and nervous when facing the defendant, and this is when the therapy dog goes up to accompany these people, so that they know that they are not alone, that they have friends by their side, and they can summon up the courage to administer justice. ”

Then, Hobott popularized some common sense of court therapy dogs to Qin Shiou.

The concept of therapy dogs originated in the United States, where there are now about 87 professional therapy dogs in 28 states, who comfort plaintiffs and witnesses, especially children who have been harmed by violence, and give them the courage to accuse those who have hurt them.

Qin Shiou said embarrassedly: "I don't think it's very easy, my tigers and leopards are very kind guys, but after all, they have no relevant training, and their personalities are very jumpy, I am afraid that it will be counterproductive when the time comes, such as making a big fuss in court." ”

Hobott smiled, "Maybe something like this will happen, but we want to try, Mr. Qin." If it can be successful, then we at the St. John's Court will introduce court therapy dogs, which is very important for the justice of our city. is a great step forward. ”

Louis took out the computer, opened it, put it in front of Qin Shiou, and said, "Could you please take a look at this first?" ”

This is a simple documentary about an incident in a Washington state court in the United States, where a black villain was sued for the murder of a housewife, and the witnesses were a five-year-old girl and an eight-year-old girl, both of whom were the woman's children.

The two children were very anxious in court. even hugged each other and trembled for a while, and the case was stuck, Qin Shiou felt that the atmosphere in the courtroom at that time was frozen. Both the judge and the lawyer felt that the trial could not continue.

Two golden retriever roving dogs came on the field, they snuggled in the arms of the two sisters obediently, constantly licking the palms or cheeks of the two with their tongues, and the two girls held the cute golden retrievers. I finally mustered up the courage to do so. Corrected the fact that a black youth murdered his mother.

"This is a professional forensic therapy dog." "They heal the children's emotions and help them become brave, and they're amazing little guys." ”

Qin Shiou was not disgusted by the court's request, he felt that it would be good if the tiger and the leopard could do something for public welfare.

But what he just said was the truth, who knows what the two little guys will do in court at that time, maybe they will fight in public. That's trouble.

Seeing that he hesitated, Hobot continued: "Qin. What you may not know is that when a person relives an incident of trauma, they experience a similar physiological response as they did at the time of the event. This confrontational system of testifying in front of the attacker is brutal, and many people break it afterwards, especially children. ”

Qin Shiou smiled bitterly: "I hope to be able to help you, but I'm really not sure that the tiger and the leopard can do it, I don't understand why you would think of using my dog, in fact, wouldn't it be better if you could go to the United States to borrow their dog?" ”

Louis took out another document and handed it to him, saying, "That's right, Qin, this time the people who need your dog's help are three children, who come from single-parent families and have suffered terrible torture from their fathers. ”

Qin Shiou looked at the information, there were photos in it, they were three children of different ages, but the eldest one was only seven or eight years old.

"The trauma these children are so severe, Qin, that we can't imagine that it took months just for them to open up to investigators about what happened. When the time came to go to court, two of them were too scared to speak in court because just facing their attackers was too traumatic! Louis said heavily.

Qin Shiou sighed and said pityingly: "That's a pity! ”

Louis nodded, and continued, "But things will turn around. After failing to make their first court appearance, the three children were in a worse mood until they saw your two dogs in the news. ”

"At that time, your two babies accompanied you to participate in the charity race across the channel, and the three children actually had a heated discussion because of your dog, that was the first time we saw them talk like normal people after we met them!"

Qin Shiou understood, no wonder the two of them came to the door, it turned out that the previous performance of the tiger and the leopard was on TV and was seen by others.

He looked through the information and found that there was a picture of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl in it, so he asked, "May I ask who this is?" ”

"This is also a victim who wants help from your dog," Luis said. ”

He saw Winnie walk in with the child in her arms, and paused and said, "Before I tell this case, I want your wife and child to leave first, some things are too dark." ”

Winnie smiled apologetically and went out with the little melon.

After she left, Louis continued: "This poor girl's name is Judy, and her father sexually assaulted her and impregnated her. No matter who this terrible thing happens, it's unimaginable, isn't it? ”

Qin Shiou was stunned, and then became furious.

He had just become a father and had a daughter, and although he rarely expressed his love for her, it was evident from the fact that he was striving to win the first place in the charity competition in order to win the naming rights of the foundation for his daughter.

When he heard that a father had hurt his daughter like this, he couldn't believe it, and at the same time, he felt that this poor girl was so unfortunate!

It is already difficult for a violated girl to correct an unrelated person, and now the perpetrator is not an unrelated person, but her own biological father, so it is indeed too terrible to make a correction in the eyes of the court.

Seeing this case, Qin Shiou made up his mind and said, "I will do my best to let the tiger and leopard help these poor children, but they have never done anything like this, so I think this may not be in a hurry." ”

After receiving his assurance, Hobott and Louis were overjoyed and hurriedly said, "We can let your dog and the children contact first, I believe that as long as we work hard, we will definitely help them!" (To be continued......)
