MEET TEAM BAGEL
PADS Bagel has been putting her best paw forward in her new role as an Accredited Facility Dog with Manitoba Justice Victim Services.
Team Bagel
“In August 2025, Manitoba Justice Victim Services introduced Bagel to its team. Bagel is Victim Services’ third accredited facility dog and is joined by her colleague, Gloucester (Glossy). Glossy came to the team in July 2023 after the retirement of former accredited facility dog Milan in 2021.
Bagel is a beautiful yellow Labrador-golden retriever cross. She is full of love and wants to be friends with everyone she meets. Her joyful demeanor and wiggly tail bring a smile to everyone she encounters. Bagel provides a very calming presence by curling up against someone and laying her chin on their lap to provide comfort and emotional support. This characteristic is what drew the team to her and made her a good fit to help support Manitobans.
Victim Services staff help assist victims of crime as their matters move through the criminal justice system. Bagel and Glossy are imperative members of the team as they support victims and families through very difficult times.
Manitoba Justice Victim Services is pleased with its ongoing relationship with the Pacific Assistance Dog Society (PADS) and wants to acknowledge all the puppy raisers, trainers, sitters, staff and everyone involved who helped match Bagel with the team in Manitoba. Manitobans and staff at Victim Services have positively benefited from this tremendous service. Thank you!”
