SCI Pine Grove’s TAILS prison pups program hosted its annual Lambarkey competition in February to find out which of the dogs is the best at following commands. The four pups were given 25 commands and scored on how many they completed.

Dingo emerged victorious, completing 98 percent of his commands correctly! His fellow service-dogs-in-training were not far behind, making for a tight competition for the 2024 Lambarkey championship. Each of the pups has made great progress since arriving in October.

TAILS is a program administered by New Hope Assistance Dogs, Inc., and the pups are trained by their inmate handlers to become service dogs.
