Odyssée’s students from grade 7 to 12 helped launch a St. John’s Ambulance dog therapy program at their school today and by the smiles on the students’ faces and the proud looks from the handlers and dogs themselves, “going to the dogs,” will become part of the regular routine at the school.
The St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog Program builds on our proud tradition of community service by bringing the benefits of pet companionship to both children and adults that are hospitalized, adults residing in long term care facilities, children struggling with reading, adult and child victims of trauma and crime, students stressed from school challenges and individuals in homeless shelters.
