First Lady Cathy Justice visited Buffalo Elementary School for an assembly to celebrate the arrival of the state’s newest therapy dog through the Friends With Paws program.
The dog introduced is a male Golden Retriever named Bo. As of today, a total of 44 Friends With Paws therapy dogs have been placed throughout the state.
“Welcoming Bo to Buffalo Elementary School is another exciting step toward completing our vision for the Friends With Paws program,” First Lady Justice said. “These incredible therapy dogs have already touched the lives of so many students and staff across West Virginia, providing comfort, support, and joy in our schools. With Bo’s arrival, we are reminded of the power of kindness and the importance of creating safe, nurturing environments where children can thrive. It’s bittersweet to see this program nearing completion and heartwarming to witness its lasting impact in communities like Buffalo.”
