Tyler, dog who comforted kids amid pandemic, is retiring

Layton, N.J. -The most popular staff member at this northern New Jersey school never speaks, and usually dozes off around kids. 

But Tyler’s abundant patience and his quiet demeanor — matched only by an enormous powder puff coat — makes him a special member of the team. So school hallways will feel more than a little empty when the therapy dog retires early next year. 

There isn’t a student in the K-6 Sandyston-Walpack Consolidated School who doesn’t know Tyler, a 130-pound snow white Great Pyrenees, or his owner and handler, Sussex County beekeeper John Coco.
