In 2016, Edie Ronhovde who used to teach in the Fremont Public Schools system got into therapy and service dog training through her friend, Anne Echtinaw, a special education teacher at Fremont Middle School.

She used to bring her dog to class. Her dog was certified by Domesti-PUPS, a Lincoln-based nonprofit organization that provides therapy dogs, service dogs, and trained rescue dogs.

Fast forward, Ronhovdes and her husband Mike are now part of Domesti-PUPS’ Edu-PUPS program for educators. Before retirement, the couple would bring their dogs to their respective schools to help de-stress the students in their math classes. Nowadays, only Mike is doing it, but together, they also go to see residents of Nye Legacy, a rehabilitation center.

In a few days, Ronhovde will be teaching K-9 Good Citizen Class at the Masonic-Eastern Star Home for Children and she has a full house already.
