Yesterday was a "pawsitively" amazing day at Westfall Elementary School! Randy, a therapy dog from the Pickaway County Sheriff's Office, along with handler Chase Bergoon, brought smiles to students as he visited the classrooms. Randy, like many specially trained therapy dogs, offers emotional support and companionship to those facing trauma, stress, or grief, helping to reduce anxiety and enhance well-being. Thank you, Randy and Chase, for making such a wonderful impact!
