Nanook’s StoryNanook works as a facility dog at Michael’s House Child Advocacy Center in Fairborn, Ohio. Nanook is trained to provide a calming presence for abused children who ask for him to be there when it comes time to talk about their abuse to one of the Michael’s House interviewers who help hold abusers accountable and make sure that kids get the treatment they need to thrive. Sometimes, Nanook will even go to court with his kids to help them feel brave.
