Adrian Verburg lends his skill and 1947 Stinson 108-2 to help Thaliea get used to the sound and movement of airplanes. Thaliea is a Siberian Husky mix that works as a psychiatric assistance dog and was rescued after being abandoned on the streets of a northern Quebec community.

Her owner, Kayla Banfield, who suffers from an anxiety disability, said, “If I’m fidgeting my hands, she’ll make me stop. She’ll paw at me, and if I ignore her, she’ll put two paws on me, and if I continue to ignore her, she’ll jump up on me and pull both my arms down to her.”

With more training, Thaliea will get used to air travel and airport environments which will help her accompany Banfield for her travels to Nunavut where she’ll teach music, visual arts, and English to students from Grade 10 through 13.
