Job title:
What's up dog?
R Tee attends school with me and is a support for the diagnosed children in my class. His calming nature helps these kids to better regulate their emotions and gives them an opportunity to just relax and chill with him. There is no pressure on them and he is happy to just be with them. He supports the kids to attend activities within the school that may otherwise be difficult. When they are anxious, he relaxes them. He will participate in their activities and brings delight to the kids with his crazy antics. He is very loyal and knows who to sit with in the class. R Tee is also a support to the other staff in the school. Always looking for a pat from anyone and just an overall loving dog.
R Tee has continued to support the students in my class with his calming nature. Its beautiful to see their faces light up when they enter the classroom in the morning and he is there. He is a continual source of delight for the kids often engaging in silly antics that make the kids laugh. I am stopped a lot at my local community events that R Tee and I attend by people that know him and follow us in social media. As he is also a stud dog, I have a lot of people that either want one of his pups or use him to add his bloodlines to their own programs. R Tee is a one in a lifetime dog and Im so grateful for everything he does.
