Teacher's Pet is changing the life of a child...one dog at a time!! This year they are celebrating 10 years of their work...nearly 2,000 kids have gone through the program, with nearly 2,300 dogs!

They were recently part of a 2.5 year NIH (National Institute of Health) study that looked at the relationship and success of pairing dogs and kids together in a therapeutic program. We know that dogs can help kids heal...this study was able to put measurable numbers to it.

It's a great program that is helping these kids tremendously!

Teacher's Pet is a wonderful nonprof that pairs at risk youth with homeless dogs. The kids spend 5 weeks training the dogs to improve the dogs chances at finding their furever homes! I have been blessed to be able to work with these kids and dogs and it is truly an amazing thing to watch!
