Paula L. Briscoe, an intelligence officer with the Defense Intelligence Agency in Washington, D.C., accepts the secretary of defense certificate for outstanding employees with disabilities from Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness David S.C. Chu. Her canine companion, a 7-year-old Golden Retriever named Jenny, goes to work every day. Briscoe said once she's at work, she takes off Jenny's harness and "everybody pretty much thinks of her as the office dog." The 23rd Annual DoD Disability Awards Ceremony was held Dec. 9 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Bethesda, Md. Photo by K.L. Vantran.
