Therapy dogs bring calm and joy to students following shooting at Colorado high school

Following a shooting at Evergreen High School in Colorado, therapy dogs have been integrated into the daily school environment to support students. The animals greet students upon arrival, patrol the hallways, and visit classrooms to provide comfort and emotional stability.

This initiative serves as a resource for the student body as they continue to process the trauma of the recent school shooting. The presence of the dogs is intended to offer a calming influence and moments of joy during the recovery period.
