Pets aren’t usually allowed in schools because of some cases such as allergies and they could distract the students. However, at Centerville Independent School District, the situation is different. A dog’s presence is used as therapy and services for students who need them.

While a student’s life includes stress and their mental health is very crucial, Centerville Highschool Principal Claudia Mordecai allowed trained therapy to service dogs to be on campus and houses one in their counselor’s office so that students can sign up for dog time.

The dogs work with children that require special needs as well as those in the typical classroom setting. There are also different purposes for dogs on campuses and one of it is it helps stops the bullying. Children who get exposed to dogs on campus get excited by their presence making one of their purposes conducive to the learning of students.

Several teachers also foster the therapy and service dogs. While children benefit from having dogs near their vicinity, they also learn how to care for them and appreciate the blessings of having dogs as man’s best friend. It teaches them the value of living beings and how to become better individuals when they grow up to become adults.
