How Man’s Best Friend Transformed A Life

Joe Denti spent more than three decades behind bars, but it was the wagging tails and wet noses of shelter dogs that helped him turn the page. As a longtime participant in Missouri’s Puppies for Parole program, Denti trained and rehabilitated rescue dogs, giving them a second chance—and finding healing himself in the process.
