Serbian prisoners and dogs give each other a new lease on life 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseDusan and Cupko both lost their way in life before finding themselves behind bars in Serbia’s largest prison. Now the pair — one a 49-year-old inmate and the other a shaggy mutt — are hoping to leave together thanks to a programme that matches prisoners with stray dogs and prepares both for a second chance. “It has been the most beautiful dream, to work here and work with the dogs,” he added, after a training session with eight other prisoners and dogs in a grassy patch on the grounds of the men’s jail in Sremska Mitrovica. With help from the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, the prison decided to turn the situation into something symbiotic.
