A grounded qualitative approach was employed with open\u2010ended responses.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The following themes emerged: the symbolism of the dog its role in therapy, perceptions of positive behaviors and rehabilitation, a sense of normality, and universal support by inmates.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study supports the potential for utilizing rescue dogs in therapeutic interventions in which the vulnerable inmate can discuss early trauma, interpersonal dysfunction and histories of deviance. The dog symbolized the potential for incarcerated youth to engage in discussion of sensitive topics in a safe manner. Policy implications also include the function of dogs in creating a normalizing effect on the prison unit itself, one that can promote rehabilitation. There was universal support for the program which is rare in the prison milieu. Theoretically, positive outcomes occurred in an indirect manner, though more research is needed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/phn.12622","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,17]],"date-time":"2019-05-17T13:45:58Z","timestamp":1558100758000},"page":"507-513","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["A qualitative assessment of a dog program for youth offenders in an adult prison"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"36","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5000-5094","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hayden P.","family":"Smith","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of South Carolina Columbia South Carolina"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Holly","family":"Smith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Canine Institute Columbia South Carolina"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.0963-7214.2003.01269.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/phn.12276"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_1","volume-title":"2018 update on prisoner recidivism: A 9\u2010year follow\u2010up period (2005\u20132014)","author":"Alper M.","year":"2018"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10509674.2012.734371"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_1","first-page":"21","volume-title":"Handbook on animal\u2010assisted therapy","author":"Beck A.","year":"2000"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1300\/J039v09n04_06"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jveb.2010.09.011"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"379","DOI":"10.2752\/089279305785593974","article-title":"Effects of a pet visitation program on the behavior and emotional state of adjudicated female adolescents","volume":"18","author":"Conniff K.
