This one’s a first: we have a dog guest on the Mo Show. Join us for a special episode featuring Stephanie Cook, a school counselor at Madison Elementary, and Barnie Fife, the school’s facility dog.

 

Barnie isn’t just a furry friend. He provides emotional support to students, helps them navigate tough days, and plays an essential role in the school’s daily life.

 

Stephanie shares the story of how she brought Barnie on board, from his training to his daily routines. Plus, you’ll hear about the relationship he has with the students, staff, and overall school community.

 

If you’ve ever wondered how facility dogs fit into schools (or just want to hear a feel-good story), this conversation is for you.
