Hundreds of people played with emotional support and service dogs at the Amazon fulfillment center in Oxnard on Friday.
The second annual event was a part of a partnership between Amazon and the nonprofit Military Animal Project to celebrate Veterans Day.
The locally based group, which started in Ventura County and opened a second chapter in Nevada in 2022, matches trained emotional support and service animals with veterans to assist them with their day-to-day lives and facilitate healing.
Owners and canines visited the company's cavernous warehouse on Sakioka Drive, west of Del Norte Boulevard, where dogs were greeted with smiles, hugs and a few kisses as they strolled concrete corridors lined with bright yellow bins. The fulfillment center, which started shipping goods in February 2022, processes packages for Amazon customers in Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties.
