1052. Lara Court Therapy Dog
The two shook hands with Qin Shiou, and then Hobot said: "Hello, Mr. Qin, thank you for your contribution to St. John's economic development and charity. Louis and I have been with you for a long time. This time I came to you to work with you to work on a project, that is, to borrow your two dogs and let them be used as court treatment dogs. I don't know if you are interested."
Qin Shiou heard of this term for the first time and asked strangely: "Court treatment dog? What is that?"
Hobot smiled and explained to him: "Actually, to put it simply, it is to invite your dog to go to court to accompany some plaintiffs or witnesses. Sometimes, these people will be afraid of nervousness when facing the defendant. The treatment dog is at this time to accompany these people, so that they know that they are not alone and that they can muster up the courage to uphold justice with friends."
Then, Hobot popularized Qin Shiou some common sense about treating dogs in court.
The concept of court-treatment dogs originated from the United States. There are about 87 professional court-treatment dogs in 28 states in the United States. They will comfort plaintiffs and witnesses in court, especially those children who have been hurt by violence, giving them the courage to accuse those who have hurt them.
Qin Shiou said in embarrassment: "I don't think it's easy. My tiger and leopard are very kind guys, but they have not received relevant training after all, and their personalities are very tempted. I'm afraid that it will have a counterproductive effect when the time comes, such as making a big fuss in the court."
Hobot smiled and said, "Maybe something like this will happen, but we want to try it. Mr. Qin, if it can be successful, then our St. Johns Court will introduce a court treatment dog, which is a great improvement for our city's judicial system."
Louis took out his computer, opened it and put it in front of Qin Shiou, and said, "Can you see this first?"
This is a simple documentary about something in a Washington state court in the United States, when someone sued a black villain for murdering a housewife. The witness was a five-year-old girl and an eight-year-old girl, both of whom were the children of the woman.
The two children were very anxious in court, and even hugged each other and shivered, and the case was stuck. Qin Shiou felt that the atmosphere in court was frozen at that time, and the judge and lawyer felt that the trial could not continue.
The two golden retriever dogs came on the field. They snuggled obediently in the arms of the sisters, constantly licking the palms, backs or cheeks of their hands with their tongues. The two girls hugged the cute golden retriever dog. The latter finally plucked up the courage to correct the fact that the black young man murdered his mother.
"This is professional court treatment dogs," said Louis. "They treat the children's emotions and help them become brave, and they are amazing little guys."
Qin Shiou was not disgusted with the court's request. He thought that Hu Zi and Leopard could do some charity work like this.
But what he said just now was the truth. Who knew what the two little guys would do in court then? Maybe they would start fighting in public, so that would be troublesome.
Hobot saw him hesitating and continued, "Qin, you may not know that when a person revisits the trauma, they will experience a physiological reaction similar to the incident. This confrontation system of testifying in front of the attacker is cruel, and many people will break down afterwards, especially children."
Qin Shiou smiled bitterly and said, "I hope it can help you, but I am really not sure that Hu Zi and Leopard can do it. I don't understand why you thought of using my dog. In fact, you can go to the United States to borrow their dogs, wouldn't it be better?"
Louis took out another document and handed it to him, saying, "That's right. Qin, this time the three children who need your dog's help are from a single-parent family. They have suffered terrible torture from their father."
Qin Shiou looked at the information and found photos inside. He was a child of different ages, but the oldest looked only seven or eight years old.
"The trauma of these children is so severe, Qin, we can't imagine it. It took several months to open their hearts to the investigators about what happened. When the time came to appear, because it was too traumatized to face their attackers, two of them were even in fear in court!" Louis said heavily.
Qin Shiou sighed and said pity: "That's so regretful!"
Louis nodded and continued, "But things turned around. After the first failed court appearance, the three children's mood became worse and worse, until they saw your two dogs in the news."
"At that time, your two babies accompanied you to participate in a charity competition across the Strait. The three children actually started a heated discussion because of your dog. That was the first time we saw that they could talk like normal people after we met them!"
Qin Shiou understood, no wonder the two came to the door. It turned out that Hu Zi and Leopard had been seen on TV before.
He looked through the information and found that there was a photo of a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old inside, and asked, "What is this?"
"This is also a victim who wants to get help from your dog," Louis said.
He saw Winnie walking in with her child in her arms, paused and said, "Before I tell the case, I hope your wife and the child will leave first. Some things are too dark."
Winnie smiled apologetically and took the little melon out.
After she left, Louis continued: "The poor girl is named Judy, and her father sexually assaulted her and conceived her. Such a terrible thing is unimaginable no matter who happens, isn't it?"
Qin Shiou was stunned and then furious.
He had just become a father and had a daughter. Although he rarely told his love for his daughter, it can be seen from the fact that he strived for the first place in the charity competition to win the right to naming the foundation for his daughter, he had a strong love for his daughter.
When he heard that a father hurt his daughter like this, it was incredible, and at the same time he felt that this poor girl was so unfortunate!
It is already difficult for a girl who was violated to correct an irrelevant person. Now the perpetrator is not an irrelevant person, but his biological father. It is indeed a terrible thing to correct him under the attention of the court.
Seeing this case, Qin Shiou made up his mind and said, "I will do my best to let Hu Zi and Leopard help these poor children, but they have never done anything like that, so I think this may not be too anxious."
After receiving his guarantee, Hobot and Louis were overjoyed and hurriedly said, "We can ask your dog to contact the children first. I believe that as long as we work hard, we will definitely help them!" (To be continued.)
