Asher, a 1-year-old goldendoodle, is ready to go to work as a therapy dog at Jackson-Milton Elementary School. The dog, owned by guidance counselor Christine Ginnis, will join the school staff next year but was introduced Tuesday morning to the enthusiastic student body who lined up to greet and pet him.
