Dog Hired As Assistant Teacher In Reykjavík School
In a third-grade classroom in Iceland, the newest teaching assistant has four legs, a wagging tail, and a calming presence. Orka, a Labrador Retriever, is part of an innovative pilot program bringing therapy dogs into schools—not just to comfort, but to contribute. Two days a week, she helps students focus, learn, and feel at ease. Her impact is already clear: fears are easing, and engagement is growing. It’s a small experiment with heartwarming potential—and yes, she’s got her own Instagram.
