i ve got something i m very excited about. christie schiller started this amazing program calls caninesforkids.org. she thought about this idea in response to violence and shootings in schools. take a listen to what she has to say about the program. i think that canines provide a softer, gentler alternative to a gun. and i m sure that there s some teachers out there that are qualified to handle a gun, but i think forcibly acting them to do so just puts those teachers in a bad position. that s from a sit-down with jamie colby about this organization. her organization will, in fact, provide the training, pay for the dogs if you apply to have one of these dogs come to your school. it s a unique approach. children love dogs, and they re specially trained so if the child is allergic or fearful, the dog knows to stay away from that child. i m all for making schools safer and protecting our children, so it s a great idea.
