Teddy Tales: True Stories of a School Therapy Dog

By Karla Unke

Therapy dogs transform the lives of students daily as they work with children in elementary schools. This collection of true stories details some of the amazing benefits from just a little loving care given by an elementary school therapy dog named Teddy.
Teddy is a real-life therapy dog who worked with the school counselor at Whittier Elementary School in Clinton, Iowa, from 2003 to 2015. For over twelve years, students and adults alike have been drawn to Teddys warmth and unconditional love. From I just saw Teddy and felt better, to helping children cope with grief and loss of loved ones, these stories will warm your heart!
Included as a bonus are just some of the love notes Teddy received from students over the years as well as retirement greetings as he left his school. In addition, see what Teddys handler, Karla, learned from him!
