MILLER PLACE-ROCKY POINT, NY - From Rocky Point School District: Frank J. Carasiti Elementary School kindergarten students in Nicole Fisher and Stacie Zumpol’s class learned that man’s best friend is more than a loving companion for families but can also provide service and therapy to individuals in times of need.

With the help of kindergartener Lailah Martone’s Aunt Carol Goulding and her adorable pup Charlie, the students learned about the work of the organization, Pet Therapy from Bideawee. During the visit, Aunt Carol, as the student fondly called her, spoke about the work of a service dog and how they not only help individuals with tasks but also helps to bring calm to those during stressful times.

To show appreciation for the visit, each student drew a colorful picture of Charlie and proudly presented it to him during the event.
