Man’s best friend made a bunch of friends at the Hamilton Primary School on Thursday, December 5.
Two therapy dogs, Theo and Buddy, paid a visit from Creature Comfort to Hamilton and received a hearty welcome from the school’s 3rd and 4th Grade students.
Creature Comfort, which is out of Madison, is an organization that on its website states “ To enhance people’s lives through therapeutic visits with caring volunteers and their pets.”
“Our students loved meeting Theo and Buddy, the therapy dogs, during the morning,” Hamilton Principal Tim Beaumont said. “ They asked the dogs’ handlers lots of interesting questions and enjoyed the chance to pet the animals. We are grateful to our friends at Creature Comfort and to our School Counselor, Mrs. (Debra) Ianniciello, for facilitating this educational and heartwarming experience.”
