TOMBSTONE, Ariz. — The Tombstone Marshal’s Office is letting the dogs out Saturday for the first Dog Days of Tombstone event. Marshal Jim Adams says this is an opportunity for people to learn more about their three K9s, and how they are keeping the town safe.
Joey Ramp-Adams suffered a brain injury in 2006 that led her to needing a service dog to help her complete daily tasks. "I had to end my Ph.D. pursuit because of one lab and one professor, who was adamant that I could not proceed," she said."I had to end my Ph.D. pursuit and I didn't want that to happen to anyone else.”
"A lot of people have... misconceptions about how these animals are trained or how they're treated," Adams said."I can tell you that most working dogs and service dogs are better behaved than most people, and they are our family.”
