Selkie, a 4-year-old Labrador, is dubbed as “The Pupil Whisperer” and is now a regular at the Bickley Park School in Bromley, South East London.

Headteacher Patrick Wenham brought his pet Labrador to school to help students who are suffering from cynophobia or more commonly known as the fear of dogs. Selkie also acts as a talking therapy provide where children can tell her their problems without judgment.

Selkie has already helped a 13-year-old pupil get over his cynophobia.

According to research, stroking animals can help with relaxation. Wenham says life can be very difficult for those suffering from cynophobia, and Selkie has proven to be an invaluable part of the school community by acting as a pupil therapist. She’s looking forward to helping more children in the future.
