Matteo's & Minka, therapy dogs of the Clarendon County Sheriff's Office, were honored to provide comfort and support today at the 29th Annual Silent Witness Ceremony. Hosted on the steps of the South Carolina State House by the Attorney General’s Office, this powerful event brought families together from across the state to honor the 30 women and 10 men who tragically lost their lives to domestic violence in 2025. Red and blue silhouettes represented each victim, and a 41st purple silhouette represented the unknown victims.

Domestic violence remains one of South Carolina's most critical public health and criminal concerns. Events like these are vital for breaking the silence, bringing awareness, and remembering those we have lost. While the families carried the heavy weight of grief today, our pups were there to offer a gentle presence, a soft ear to lean on, and unconditional love to anyone needing a moment of healing. 💜

If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, please know you are not alone. Confidential, 24/7 help is available:

Honoring heroes and sharing comfort. 💙🐕

Yesterday, our therapy dog team Matteo & Minka of the Clarendon County Sheriff's Office, had the profound privilege of attending the City of Florence Police Department's Annual Wreath-Laying Ceremony.

This moving event honors the lives, ultimate service, and sacrifice of Sergeant Terrence Carraway and Investigator Farrah Turner, who lost their lives following the line-of-duty tragedy on October 3, 2018.

Our hearts were completely with the victims' families, survivors, and the entire law enforcement community during this remembrance. While words often fall short on days like this, our therapy dogs did what they do best—providing a quiet, comforting presence, a soft ear to hold, and unconditional support to the families and officers who carry this weight every day.

We are incredibly grateful to the City of Florence Police Department and Victim's Advocate Princess Benjamin for inviting us to stand alongside them. To the families of Sgt. Carraway and Investigator Turner: you are never forgotten. We love you!

We were deeply honored to stand alongside our brothers and sisters in uniform to support the family of our fallen brother-in-blue, Chris Delong, Jr.

Bringing our therapy dogs, Matteo's & Minka of the Clarendon County Sheriff's Office, to the visitation was an experience that words can barely describe. Meeting Chris' family was incredibly heartwarming. Getting to spend time with them, learning that he loved dogs, especially German Shepherds, and witnessing their immense strength and resiliency was a profound blessing. We also delivered to the DeLong Family, 6 Prayer Bears made by Grae Pratt of Nana's Gift.

Please keep the DeLong family in your thoughts and prayers as they navigate this difficult time. We will always stand with you.

Matteo's & Minka, of the Clarendon County Sheriff's Office, would like to thank Pastor T.J. Grooms and his staff of the Unity Christian Church - Alcolu, South Carolina for inviting us to participate in their 7-week Youth Summer Camp!!!! We always feel welcome and like one of the family when we attend events at this amazing church! As Pastor T.J. tells us, we are not guests but part of their family!

We look forward to visiting again next week. There will also be other deputies from the Clarendon County Sheriff's Office participating next week in the camp as well. Contact Unity Christian Church - Alcolu, South Carolina for more information!
