We are so proud that Fari has made a huge difference to a little person in court this week... all the hard work has paid off... thanks Gen for being an amazing handler... and thanks FACAA for having faith that one of our staffies was the right dog for the job.. this just proves that staffies get a bad wrap yet they are actually the most loyal loving breed you could find.
Our court support dog Fari’s first job supporting a brave survivor was a complete success !
Recently, Fari FACAA’s court support dog attended a court house with a very brave survivor who was seeking justice for the crimes perpetrated against them.
He was AMAZING !
THEY, were AMAZING!!
The client instantly bonded with Fari and even though they, “weren’t usually a dog person,” they found him to be a great companion and were not surprised when Fari's wonderful handler Gen, said “that’s ok he's not usually a dog” 😂😂😂
He is more human than a lot of people who make our pages.
When the courtroom video link began Fari instantly moved over and laid down next to them and everytime the client faltered with their answers Fari would give them a gentle nudge on the hand, and then lie back down.
We truly believe he helped get justice that day, Fari is an amazing court support worker, he is very loving and supportive and he gets the job done !
Not only did he do his court support work but he had quite the busy day, he started off at a refuge convincing a young girl, who was very anxious, to not only go to school... but he sent her off with a smile on her face.
He then licked the toes of a little baby and was rewarded with a very cute gigglefest.
He then vacuumed up a kitchen floor, or two, and proved that he is not only a great support worker but also the consummate professional when meeting police officers, and even a magistrate, who all commented on how wonderful he was.
Yes, he is a very good boy, the bestest of the best... working to help children (and adults), feel just a little calmer and a little braver as they go through one of the toughest days they will experience.
Sometimes he makes us at FACAA wonder if he really is more human than dog. 😜
