By Jessica Jerreat PUBLISHED: 20:57 EST, 22 September 2013 | UPDATED: 10:37 EST, 23 September 2013 When Sharron Kahn Luttrell first signed up to do her bit for the community by helping to train service dogs, she had little idea what an effect it would have on her life and how it would challenge her preconceptions. Training Neads puppy Daisy was literally no walk in the park. Instead every weekend, the Massachusetts mother-of-two found herself in the company of her co-trainer Keith - an inmate sent to prison for 40 years when he was 16 - just a few months older than Luttrell's own daughter.
