What they’re saying:
“Today, we introduced our newest (and possibly most popular) employee: a four-year-old golden retriever named Coco!” MCAO said on Dec. 17.
The office says supporting victims of crimes is at the heart of its mission, and Coco will play a key role.
“As a K9 Victim Advocate, Coco is always ready to lend a helping paw and provide emotional support to victims during court hearings or trial,” MCAO said. “We are thrilled to welcome her to our team and know her work will make a real difference for victims.”
Already, MCAO has K9s Elle and Morgan who work with victims of crimes.
