Therapy Dog Story

Whenever AJ Schalk goes to school, he is accompanied by his dog, Alpha, a four-year-old therapy dog. Alpha is AJ’s constant companion at school because of the boy’s condition. When AJ was still young, the boy got diagnosed with diabetes.

AJ’s schoolmates are already fond of Alpha’s presence at school. This is why it did not come as a surprise when the dog got included in their yearbook.

This became possible because AJ requested the school to include Alpha in the yearbook. According to the boy, the journal shall serve as an apt reminder for him that he survived school through the help of Alpha. In the same way, the boy wants his batchmates and classmates to remember the pooch through the yearbook.

In an interview, AJ bared that he did not expect that the school would yield to his request. Nonetheless, he is happy because the school fulfilled his wish. Not only that, the dog’s photo was placed beside AJ’s photo.

More than this, AJ is likewise grateful that the school permitted the presence of the dog in the school ground.
