Titan is an adorable dog, specially trained to undertake the challenging tasks of providing psychological support to abused children and teenagers during their testimony.
In a court in Buenos Aires, Argentina, there is a room that has been particularly created for children. There, the kids have the opportunity to meet and play with the five-year-old Golden Retriever that is more than happy to be given some treats as well!

Therapy dogs are usually trained to provide affection and comfort to people in several locations and circumstances. The logic behind their training is that a therapy dog offers initial comfort to an individual - particularly a child on this occasion - in an unfamiliar situation or environment and reduces anxiety. The handler can also use the dog to build rapport, initiate an open-ended dialogue unrelated to the suspected abuse incident, evaluate children's responses to assess engagement and cognitive abilities before conducting an investigative interview.
