“He basically spent a year, his whole life, in obedience training to be able to become a facility dog to stay here at the school and help these kids,” explains Sgt. Stacey Austin, Coffee County School Resource Officer. “He’s just here to be something to love on and compassion, a furry friend.” From hallway interactions to classroom visits, Mayor is spreading joy and making school feel like home.
Ella Kate Bowers, 6th grader expresses, “He acts like my dog, so it just feels like I have my dog at school with me.”“If they’re having a rough day, he’ll kind of help direct them and make their mood better,” says Austin.Holli Richardson, Principal of New Brockton Elementary School explains, “A dog is a lot less judgmental than a person, sometimes they feel more comfortable practicing those things that they struggle with, so we hope that he can support students in that way.
