Canines of all
breeds are loving and non-judgmental. Students and
teachers identify with
animals, and most have pets of their own. They can ask questions and express
their private feelings in a safe environment. Thousands of students have
benefited from this outreach program. . . and it continues to grow thanks to
wonderful students who are members of the
K-9 for Kids Corp.
