Samantha McAtee, the Director of School Counseling at Twin Lakes High School, believes in the help that therapy dogs can provide to students. She says that it’s been years since she wanted to have a therapy dog and she’s currently working on it.

According to McAtee, a therapy dog helps students interact, empathize, and solve problems. Yet, the school board is having a concern about how having one would improve a student’s emotional and social learning.

One high school survey revealed that 82% feel that a therapy dog reduces stress, anxiety, and depression. 78.9% feel that the school would benefit from it.
