Teenager takes time for America’s VetDogs

TOWSON, MD — The Public Safety community reaches beyond our employees, as is demonstrated by 14-year-old Andrew Marriott.

For his Eagle Scout badge, the Boy Scout made training tables for the America’s VetDogs program, where inmates train dogs to become service animals for veterans returning home from the field.

Andrew used wood and PVC pipe to construct about a dozen boards, which range in height from one to three feet, for the dogs to practice jumping onto and off.

Not only did he make these boards, but Andrew and his family delivered them, along with bags of toys and other goods for the prisons, to Eastern Correctional Institution, Maryland Correctional Training Center, Western Correctional Institution, and Maryland Correctional Institution, Hagerstown.

They also delivered the tables and other goods to facilities in Massachusetts.

Huge thanks to Andrew and his family, who are supporters of the America’s VetDogs program!
