Headteacher brings pet Labrador to school to help soothe and relax pupils

PUPILS at a primary school had no chance of becoming teacher’s pet after the head started bringing Selkie “The Pupil Whisperer” to class every morning.

Alex says he was very nervous on his first day back, but by day two he went to the head teacher’s office and managed to stroke Selkie, claiming it was “mission accomplished” and he felt “proud of himself”.Selkie’s owner, headteacher Patrick Wenham, says: “Dogs are often referred to as man’s best friend but for those who have a genuine fear of encountering them, life can be very difficult.“Selkie has been heavily involved in the school community.

Rodney and Ralph, who are both aged five, are not just best buddies to each other but to all their loving owners. “They help those who have experienced homelessness overcome loss of self-esteem by giving them a purpose.NATALIE WALSH, from Durham, has got a cat called Suzie. She says: “I am moving home soon and am worried about Suzie wandering off.

“Then invest in a cat harness and lead when first letting her out to explore the garden each day for the next few weeks. Then let her out during the day at first but keep her in at night when there are more hazards around.STEPHEN BARROW, from Morecambe, has a cocker spaniel called Woody. He says: “He is nine and loves running for a ball but lately when he does he seems to grab the ball, limp a tiny bit and then run it off.“This sounds like Woody may have a niggling problem with the affected leg.

What a fantastic idea, pets are great to relax children and adults alike 💙🐾
