MARION — Some of them are murderers, but all of them are behind bars because of a crime they’ve committed. But nine of them are using that time to give back to society and make a difference in a child’s life.
WAGS 4 Kids, a non-profit charity organization trains and matches service dogs that provide therapeutic, emotional and physical support for children with disabilities and their families.
