Letter: In support of Therapy Dogs Comments re: ACMS Guidance Counselor Cindy Wells and Charlie By Mitzi Bault I could not be happier or more excited to find out about the therapy dogs now in our Adair County School system. It has been proven that therapy dogs can help especially elementary students. As many know I have been a cancer patient for many years. With my first round of ovarian cancer our family had a wonderful Golden Retriever, Max. On school mornings before getting sick , I would get up and make a hand gesture to Max and say ' Go get the boys up'. I would point to the stairs and Max would head up stairs to get Jacob and Blake up. Max would go into each of the boys rooms until he got them up. Max would ride with us to go to school. He loved being greeted by the teachers at Sparkesville. Jacob went from fourth grade to the seventh grade there and Blake third grade to the fifth grade. After getting diagnosed with Ovarian cancer, Max would lay by my side until it was time for someone to come check on me. If one of my boys would be upset, specifically if I was in the hospital, Max would always help calm them. It broke the family's heart when we lost our Max. A few years later I rescued a shy little pug. It was love at first sight. When my cancer came back or I did not feel well she never left my side. There will be some students that might be afraid of the dog. This is a good way to slowly make friends. I think this program is great. --Mitzi This story was posted on 2019-08-11 14:45:19
