A Midlands woman, Tabitha, 26, speaks to her new canine companion in soft, affectionate tones. She gently scratches him behind the ears. The large, mixed-breed dog, who goes by the name Chance, was released from Leath Correctional Institution on Monday to live with Tabitha. She has adopted him through the Humane Society of Greenwood and Leath's Pawsitive Prison Program. Tabitha has Chance for emotional support.
