Moose showed up again at Luther School and brought plenty of puppy kisses, love, and support with him. 🐾💙
During his visit, he helped a young man who needed a little extra care. Moose listened intently as the student shared about a playground issue. By the time he finished telling his story, he felt calm and ready to head back to class with confidence and a clear mind.
