Stow Police comfort dog Maverick appears at community events; trainer describes long partnership
Summary
A local trainer said she donated training time to prepare Maverick, the Stow Police comfort dog, who appears at public events to provide therapy and comfort; the trainer described an ongoing partnership with the department.
Maverick, a comfort/resource dog associated with the Stow Police Department, appeared at the National Night Out community event. A dog‑training business representative described donating training services and working with the department from puppyhood. "Maverick is at our table because we've donated our training services, me specifically, to the Stowe Police Department to train him from 8 weeks old," the trainer said.
The trainer told attendees the partnership has been lengthy and that Maverick attends many community events to provide comfort and therapy. At the event the trainer described offering boarding, daycare and training services from a facility on Hudson Road and emphasized the business’s local presence and long‑running support for community animals. The remarks were descriptive; the department did not present formal guidelines or metrics on the comfort‑dog program at the booth.
