Therapy dog Helps Middle School Students

Therapy dog visits

CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis. – A Wisconsin School is benefiting from a new “best friend.”

A special therapy dog, initially meant to help only a few middle school students, is now having an impact on nearly everyone inside the building.

As the halls flood with over a thousand students between classes a special four-legged friend may stick out.

But, he’s no stranger at Chippewa Falls Middle School.

In fact, he’s become quite the household name.

Charlie is a therapy dog at the middle school and began working with students in speech and language services.

Charlie has become a staple in the lives of many students.

Now this four-legged local celebrity roams the halls providing a sense of calm and an entire school together.
