MEET PEARL | This good girl is the therapy dog for Clark-Pleasant Schools in Whiteland. She is trained to detect when kids in distress is prepared to cuddle on demand.
She is the therapy dog for Clark-Pleasant School Corporation, where she travels from school to school to bring moments of calmness during times of distress.“Therapy dogs have been proven to reduce anxiety and depression,” Dr. Connie Poston said.
“They also help increase reading skills especially for those that aren’t very confident in their reading skills. The thought is they’ll be more comfortable reading to a dog.”“Petting a dog actually releases dopamine,” Poston said. “When dopamine releases it makes you happier. It makes you relax and it overall makes you feel better.”Many other districts in central Indiana are using therapy dogs as part of their mental health and academic efforts as well.
