We swore we would never trust another dog again. Then, while my husband Brett was serving time in federal prison, God placed a service dog in training, named Mr. Conrad, into his hands. A puppy. In a prison. Assigned to a man who was broken and a family who was hurting. What happened next changed all of us. Through Conrad, Brett learned a language of trust, patience, gentleness, and connection written in the middle of prison chaos, fear, violence, and concrete walls. Every night, he sent me his stories and lessons, sharing how this tiny dog was rebuilding him from the inside out, and healing all the parts he thought were too broken to fix. And slowly It rebuilt me, too.
