Henryetta Public Schools starts therapy dog program

ENRYETTA, Okla. — When Henryetta Public Schools students return to class Thursday, they’ll meet the district’s newest employee. She has curly hair and four legs.

Miss Mace is a therapy dog in training for a program that’s been in the works for about two years.

“Therapy dogs, they’re able to reach kids in a way that people are not. Maybe they have a hard time communicating, maybe they have anxiety, maybe they’ve been affected by trauma,” said Henryetta Elementary School Counselor Jenny Huckabay.
