PLYMOUTH, Ind. -- Since 2019, Dustin's Place has assisted families and children with processing grief, a goal that will now be assisted with a new therapy dog thanks to a grant.
On Wednesday, ABC57's Summer Horan sat down with Viki Brown, the Director of Dustin's Place, and Mercedes, the new therapy dog, to discuss how Mercedes joined the organization and what she does for the children and families.
