Twinkle the Canine Companions facility dog helps students at Ohio high school

WESTERVILLE, OH -High school can be a stressful time for students, and opening up about those stressors to an adult isn’t always easy. So, imagine having a dog on campus, to help you work through those feelings.

At Westerville South High School, Twinkle the facility dog is doing just that.

Twinkle is here as an additional support for our students, to kind of help them feel safe, to regulate, and to be able to access some of the tools they need in order to be successful,” said Noelle Spriestersbach, who is the WSHS mental health specialist, school social worker, and Twinkle’s handler.
