This Dog Probably Won't Win Any Awards for Guarding the House
Golden retrievers are known for being extremely friendly, but this pup in San Diego takes that to a new level. The San Diego Police Department shared this video clip that has now gone viral. A man is wheeling off a bike from an open garage door when the resident dog comes out of the door to chase him. Instead of stopping the man from stealing the bike, Goldie asks for belly rubs.

The thief stopped for a moment to pet the dog and give the belly rubs he was looking for. You can even hear the man say, "Alright, because you're so cool. Come here. Because you're the coolest dog I've ever known. I love you too." The burglar is still at large and was able to get away with the bike, but hopefully, the attention this video is getting because of the friendly pup, will help the family get their bike back. 
Dog of the Day: Meet Moose
Moose is a two-year-old Cavapoo. Now that his human siblings have gone off to university, he is filling his time by playing dress up. Why have one costume when you can have multiple? It's hard to pick a favorite costume really, so we wonder which one he'll be for Halloween this year!

How Therapy Dogs Help Students
Therapy dogs are different from service dogs because they are able to help multiple people rather than just their owner. Therapy dogs can be found at hospitals, senior centers, and schools. There are many benefits of therapy dogs for students of all ages. If you've never had an experience with a therapy dog in a school, here are some of the most common benefits of their presence:
  • Socio-emotional benefits. Dogs bring their lovable characteristics to the classroom. They never judge and offer great companionship for students. It helps children learn social skills and prevent social isolation. 
  • Cognitive benefits. Interacting with dogs can have benefits for cognitive functions. It has been shown to help stimulate memory, problem-solving skills, and even improved reading skills. 
  • Increased school attendance. There's enhanced motivation and the development of stronger relationships between kids and their teachers. 
  • Anxiety is lessened. Students who are anxious about learning new things gain confidence with the therapy dogs.
