West Virginia’s therapy dog program continues to have an impact

First Lady Cathy Justice visited two Friends With Paws therapy dogs at Communities In Schools sites in Grant and Tucker counties last week. Prim is a female Labrador Retriever and was placed at Davis Thomas Elementary Middle School. Joey was placed at Petersburg Elementary School and he’s a Labradoodle. The Friends With Paws program places certified therapy dogs in several Communities In Schools sites across the state, providing companionship and comfort for students in need of a boost. As of August 2024, 36 Friends With Paws therapy dogs have been placed across the state.
