Campbell schools place service dog in K-7 building

CAMPBELL

Campbell City Schools have joined forces with Canine Companions for Independence to place a service dog in the K-7 building, 2002 Community Circle.

The dog will work primarily with students with mental or physical disabilities.

Robert Fick, intervention specialist at Campbell Elementary & Middle School, underwent five days of training in Columbus before being paired with the dog, according to a district news release.

Canine Companions for Independence, a nonprofit, aims to improve the lives of people with disabilities by using dogs to promote companionship and independence. The organization provides all dogs and services free of charge, according to its website.
