Delone students were greeted by wagging tails and soft fur on January 28th, the Tuesday of Catholic Schools Week. After service dogs from various breeds entered Delone, not a smile was left upside down. Students learned interesting facts about the dogs and spent time cuddling with them.
“It was very exciting because I didn’t know they were coming,” exclaimed sophomore Grace Grim.
Their unexpected arrival delivered delightful smiles and undeniably impacted the room. Cooper, a golden retriever, was a big hit in the crowd. With his playful licks and soft fur, he stole the hearts of many.
Sophomores David Hoerl and Parker Hohenstein enjoyed learning fun facts about the dogs such as their breeds and how they got their names. One notable fun fact was about a dog named Linus, a Russian wolfhound, who has a blue blanket just like Linus from Charlie Brown
“My favorite is Basil,” sophomore Ava Trout expressed. “She was calm and sweet and sat there while I petted her.”
Ava shared how her experience with the dogs made her day and brought excitement to the study hall. These furry visitors created memories of joy and unexpected delight for Delone Catholic students during Catholic Schools Week!
