Therapy Dog Helps Social Needs Class (wlfi.com)

The article is about a dog and his trainer who go to schools to help special needs kids. The kids at Lafayette high school are very anxious to get to see the dog, Lilac. the kids had become calm prior to the entering of the dog, which is a good thing. They think that spending time with the dog relaxes them and teaches them morals. The kids believed that the dog makes them feel good. I believe that this is an amazing and interesting way for therapy. Dogs usually tend to have a great connection with children, and do make them happy. The ideas of Lilac and her owner should be adapted by more schools in the US. since they are working so well, why not share it with everyone.
