This is my sweet girl Ariel. I rescued her from Animal Control 3 1/2 years ago. She has since helped me rehab several foster dogs so they could be adopted. She has also helped teach many children about dogs and how to treat them. She really loves to come to school and spend time with the children.
Ariel helps me teach the children how to interact with a dog they do not know, what to do and what not to do. She is incredibly calm and patient, and has no problem having the children pet and hug on her. Ariel loves showing the children how to gently greet a new animal.
Pets are wonderful companions for young children and help teach them responsibility and empathy.
Perhaps our next visitors will be my wild and crazy foster puppies, Clark and Eddie!
Or maybe not!
This made me LOL!
