## Resource

After his beloved dog was tragically shot by a correctional officer, musician Duke Errol Strachan received a heartfelt gesture: a new puppy, Lassie, a four-month-old Dutch Shepherd, from the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services. Though the officer faced no disciplinary action, the department honored its promise by providing Strachan with a cage, vaccinations, and financial support for Lassie’s care. While Lassie can’t replace his late dog, she’s already bonding with Strachan and learning commands, bringing joy back into his life. The officers, eager to move past the controversy, say the gesture helped heal wounds and brought them closer to the community.
