MEET TEAM Camilo
Making a splash with 'Milo'Camilo (Milo) – He was off to a flying start right away in the fall and supported victims as they engage with police in his first few weeks with me. He has had numerous successful days in the court room and also in the witness box with clients; even being complimented on his behaviour by one of our judges.
I have been told by our municipal staff and officers that they are so happy he is here for them to defuse with throughout the week.
Within a few shorts months he has visited elementary schools and met with kids who had previously been afraid of dogs. He attends regular scheduled meeting with a variety of service providers and accompanies his VS handler to community presentations where he steals the show.
He is an amazing partner to work with and I am in awe of his ability to augment his supportive demeanour to the situation. Sometimes he just needs to be present but sometimes he needs to engage a little bit more and he is always willing to do that.
Thank you to all the volunteers and raisers, puppy handlers, trainers and sponsors for making it possible that Camilo was able to join the Victim Service team in Port Alberni, Tofino and Ucluelet. Our community is better for it.
Tamara, PADS Camilo’s partner
