School therapy dog comforts kids during tornado warning

RANTOUL, Ill. – A grade school in Rantoul has a new “furry therapist,” and he came just in time to comfort students during Monday’s tornado warnings.

His name is Cooper and he’s a certified therapy dog. Sherrie Harper says she’s always wanted to combine her two passions – teaching kindergarten and dogs. Monday was Cooper’s third day at Broadmeadow Elementary, and Harper says the kids were extra grateful to have him by their side while sheltering in place for severe weather.
