Aroostook County District Attorney Todd Collins told Bangor Daily News that courthouse dogs can help traumatized children and victims of crime.

"Courthouse facility dogs can provide a sense of normalcy during juvenile and family court proceedings, and can accompany vulnerable crime victims, including children, rape victims, developmentally delayed adults and the elderly during investigations and court proceedings," Collins said. "They can also provide emotional comfort to family members during the trial and sentencing of the offender."

Collins wants Aroostook County to become the first district in Maine to employ courthouse dogs to comfort children and victims of violent crimes throughout the legal process.
