The Aftermath
After the trial is done, Karl continues to support the child for as long as they need, he doesn’t just disappear from their life. “We’ll be there as long as the child wants Karl to stay in their life. He’s helped a lot of children,” Joanne said. The children can schedule visits with Karl to help them transition through the process. Karl doesn’t just help the children themselves, but his presence tends to maintain a relaxed atmosphere when in court.
The Aftermath
A Hero
Karl just carries on with his life, completely unaware that he is a hero to many children he had helped. He keeps on with his important job, ensuring that kids won’t have to worry anymore. With all that said, Karl is a busy dog. He visits libraries to read to kids, he visits a hospice center and even has his very own coloring book that speaks about caring for animals. “Karl’s a great courtroom dog because he tells no secrets,” Joanne said. “He is a hero, no two ways about it.”
