Tucker the Therapy Dog

Tucker Goes to School

Tucker has specific jobs at school. He is allowed to take breaks as needed, but prefers to nap on his bed under an office table. Tucker has the following duties:

• Join Mrs. Doty for school rounds and duties
• Greet students in the morning and throughout the day
• Work alongside Mrs. Doty with individual students and during
group work when appropriate
• Visit classrooms as appropriate
• Participate in school assemblies as appropriate
• Provide love and support to students and staff
*If at any time Tucker appears to be tired or stressed, or if a student
or adult is verbally or physical aggressive, he is crated immediately.

Questions?

Obtaining a therapy dog has been a passion of Mrs. Doty’s for several
years. Implementation of this program has had a huge impact on the
school community. If you have any questions, please email me at
kmd2@vigoschools.org or call the school at 812-462-4361.
