He is a 2-year-old golden retriever and labrador mix. Bodhi helps provide support and comfort for crime victims. He does the same for witnesses and others, especially children. 

"When Bodhi walks in the room, you can see the children's demeanour change immediately, they become more relaxed, more confident and really able to tell us what happened to them," said Denver DA Beth McCann.
