A facility dog is a professionally trained dog that provides emotional support to people experiencing trauma and stress, including at police stations and court houses.
Pixie, a Labrador cross trained and accredited by National Service Dogs of Canada, came to the Peterborough Police Services in January 2020.
Often Pixie can be found providing support to victims during police interviews, accompanying victims ton court, at crime scenes and in plenty of meetings.
In an Instagram post to Pixies account Peterborough Police Service workers wrote ‘Pixie thank you for bringing calmness, love and patience to our often chaotic and traumatic work. You are so loved by all Peterborough Police.’
