Foster the therapy dog makes a difference for students in Buckhannon

BUCKHANNON, W.Va. – Buckhannon Academy Elementary School (BAES) has had its therapy dog, Foster, for six months. In April 2022, he was the second therapy dog placed in a West Virginia school through the Friends with Paws program. 

Foster can interact with up to 400 students in one day. He has his own spot at the entrance of the school to greet kids as they come in. Foster makes special visits to certain students in the mornings to help them start their day off right. Officials said everyone feels like they have a dog because Foster belongs to everyone.
