Meet Marshall
Lamar Elementary is excited to share that a certified therapy dog has joined Mrs. Bratton’s classroom and will have the opportunity to visit classrooms throughout the school year.
Meet Marshall!
Marshall is a 3-year-old German Wirehaired Pointer and American Foxhound mix who has completed the qualifications and training to become a certified therapy dog. He was trained by Sonya and Lee Weatherall of Hounds with Halos.
Marshall’s job is simple: help bring comfort, encouragement, calm, and joy to our students and staff.
A therapy dog is different from a service dog. Therapy dogs provide comfort, emotional support, and encouragement to many people, while service dogs are specially trained to assist one specific individual.
