We had a wonderful visit from Ms. Cathy and her therapy dog Merida. Ms. Cathy and Merida taught our class how to recognize what a dog is feeling, so we can be safe around dogs we know and dogs we don't know. One important piece of advice she told the children is never to pet a dog unless you have permission from the owner. Merida is a therapy dog who visits children and adults. She showed us lots of her tricks and talents like sitting pretty, crawling, and counting (yes, she does Math).
