Therapy dogs serve as non-judgmental companions in the process of learning and development.

Therapy dogs are an amazing way for students to reduce their stress and anxiety, while also receiving an alternative form of comfort. With a therapy dog at the school, students would feel more comfortable expressing their feelings and it would improve their self esteem. Having a reliable friend to help them through bullying, depression, and other issues would lesson emotional trauma and improve students' feeling of safety.

Therapy dogs are a wonderful idea! They calm and relax people. They make people feel loved and accepted.

Would have loved to have a dog like that all 4 years of high school, would have helped a lot when it got stressful at times.
