(WFIN) – Lincoln Elementary in Findlay has a new therapy dog to interact with students.

Rebecca Wank teaches at Lincoln and explained Truman is a popular 3-year-old Yellow Lab that helps kids when they need it…

Wank explained that Truman came to them from Assistance Dogs for Achieving Independence (ADAI) for a minimal fee and they provide support and care for Truman.

She added that students are involved in maintaining the therapy dog program to help them learn leadership traits.

Truman is available to the students outside of class as well depending on the needs of the children and what is happening in their lives outside of school.
