Having a “Paws-itive” Impact!
Grades preschool through 6th grade were able to attend a presentation by Katie Nold today. Katie works with Labs for Liberty. "Labs for Liberty has a two-fold purpose. First, it raises and trains Labradors to be given as service dogs to wounded warriors and second, it helps those veterans heal by providing a place for retreats."
Katie even had 2 very special assistants, Odin and Gunnar. She spoke about the dogs she’s trained, demonstrated a few things that they are trained to do for their owners, and shared personal stories of pairing up the dogs with their owners.
Thank you Katie for coming to our school and teaching us about the work you do and the of importance of relationships between humans and dogs.
This is a link you can go to for more information about Labs for Liberty.
