Not All Heroes Wear Capes, Some Wear a Harness, Have Four Paws, and Enjoy Belly Rubs
A four-legged therapist is making a big impact in the School District of Palm Beach County. Jaime, the therapy dog began working with the District's Police Department about a year and a half ago, every morning when the school day starts, Jaime is on the job.
"I look at Jaime as a four-legged therapist. He provides something that you and I cannot," Detective Scott Bresalier, with the School District's Police Department, said. The unassuming, unconditional love that comes with a single touch. Words aren't needed when you have that calming, still presence. Detective Bresalier takes Jaime everywhere and with purpose. The 6-year-old pup is named after Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting victim Jaime Guttenberg, a friend of the family.
"I wanted to do something positive for them," Bresalier said. "I wanted to help them, so I decided to name him after her. She wanted to be a physical therapist and work with children. Well, Jaime comes to school every single day and has an opportunity to work with children."
