KA: Where were you adopted from?
L: I was in a crowded shelter in Kentucky and would have died, but I was sent to a foster home in Illinois and got on petfinders.com.
KA: What do you have to do to become a certified therapy dog?
L: 1.) Have a great temperament
2.) Pass an evaluation which includes obedience skills, and ability to be gentle in all situations.
KA: What kinds of things do you do at RB and what do you plan on doing in the future?
L: Right now I’m just getting used to bells, crowds, stairs, and the big environment of the school. I love it when the students come by to tell me how adorable I am. After I pass my test, I’ll be able to do all of the things Yogi does (go to the British Home, work with students in many different programs, and clean up the floors after 4th hour.)
KA: What else would you like to tell the students of RB?
L: If you haven’t met me yet, please come by room 137 on Fridays so I can get extra treats! Also, I’d like to thank Yogi for teaching me and being a great big brother.
