TRUSSVILLE If a dog is a man’s best friend, there are three very special new members of Trussville City Schools.
Skye, Bullet and Atom are trained facility dogs now roaming the halls of Hewitt-Trussville High School and Hewitt-Trussville Middle School.
TCS and Service Dogs Alabama (SDA) teamed up to make the new additions possible. The facility dogs were approved before the coronavirus pandemic, but we are sure they will help ease the daily stresses of students and teachers while facing unique challenges. The three dogs completed training and are Certified Facility Dogs.
