  • Our students treat Bucko with love and respect by following these 4 expectations (Approach, Ask, Pet, Goodbye)
  • Therapy dogs provide stability and comfort to children
  • Caring and respecting an animal in school teaches responsibility, builds confidence, and gives children a sense of pride and accomplishment
  • Schools with therapy dogs see an increase in school attendance and motivation, as well as an increase of development of stronger and better relationships with teachers and peers
