Three days a week, a teacher at a Moraga school is lightening the pressure on students by bringing a therapy dog to class.
"It is so enjoyable to think about. I’m going to my job to teach and over my shoulder, I have one of my best buddies with me. How fortunate am I," said Lorrie.
"The days where we pull out her therapy vest she starts running in circles. She knows what we’re doing and seems generally excited to do it. She seems to be born for this and I can’t take any credit. She came prepackaged in the most wonderful way," said Lorrie. At brunch Chloe’s ‘Q’ rating soars even higher. She is a certified canine rock star, but she gives back so much more in return. And that’s why principal Mike Plant gave Chloe a big green light.
"The kids' faces just light up. It’s amazing, and she just has a calming way about her. And she’s so sweet.""My face immediately starts brightening up. Just seeing her makes me smile and relax," said eighth grader Addison Davis. "Are you better at school because you get to pet the dog? …I think so because she helps get rid of the stress, and it makes it easier for me to focus on my studies," Branford-Lacour said.
