Cara Blevins is a principal and Tina Russell is a counselor at Century Elementary. Both of them decided years ago to avail a service therapy dog for the school. They found out before that therapy dogs have a positive effect on students. Then came Orbit, an almost 2-year-old English Labrador Retriever.

Since Orbit’s arrival, students learned to do better at writing by writing letters to him. Other students who struggled at coming on time started coming to school early just to see Orbit. A student who had anger issues opened up a softer side due to Orbit’s calming presence. Overall, the students started to do better with their academics and emotions through Orbit’s support.
