JACKSON, MI – When Miggz, the 14-week-old golden doodle puppy approaches students in her handler Morgan Ledford’s first grade classroom, eyes immediately light up and a collective “aww” can be heard as Miggz buries his fluffy fur into the face of a student.
Just one week into his role as a facility dog in Ledford’s classroom, the newest member of the Northwest Early Elementary School team already seems to have a way with children – and apparently staff, Ledford’s mother and first grade team teacher Tracy Ledford said.
Jackson’s Northwest Community School District has partnered with the dog training organization Canines for Change to bring a group of eight “facilities” dogs into elementary and middle school classes. We followed goldendoodles Sunny and Miggz and Bernedoodle Harley at Northwest Early Elementary and Kidder Middle School on Monday, May 16 2022.
