I sure wish I had this growing up!

A school in the UK has adopted a puppy as part of an initiative to help the students. Arnie, the King Charles Spaniel, will help the children through anxiety relief according to a story in The Evening Express. 

The system is called “PAWS,” or, “Pupils’ Attainment and Well-being strategy.”

According to the story Arnie is believed to be the first school dog of his kind in the UK!

The school’s principal told the paper:

“There has been a lot of research that has shown there are many benefits for children, young people and adults who come into contact with dogs.

“They help with literacy and the presence of a dog can have quite a calming affect.”

They believe it will be beneficial to all in the school!
