Pre-K meets Bowie, the therapy dog

Pooches and prekindergarteners together can brighten the dreariest of days!

Students in Iesha Leigh’s class at New Scotland Elementary School had their first meet-and-greet on Thursday with Bowie the labradoodle therapy dog and his person, Mary Ann Cooper.  

Bowie and Cooper are affiliated with the Schenectady Chapter of Therapy Dogs International. They normally visit New Scotland Elementary every Monday for two hours and rotate among different classes, which works out to a visit with each class about twice a month.
