A PRIMARY school in Ludgershall has introduced a therapy dog to help support its students. Wellington Eagles Primary school has introduced their new therapy dog, a 12-week-Cocker Spaniel named Lillibet.
The school was inspired to get a therapy dog by the work done at the Wellington Academy, which has a therapy dog called Duke as part of its team.
With much research showing that therapy dogs benefit education by supporting students and helping them regulate their emotions, the primary school made the decision to acquire a therapy dog….
Lillibet will primarily support children with special education needs, as well as vulnerable and service children.
