How rescue dog Harper is transforming school

Available for over a year

Teachers at a Leicester school say a rescue dog is helping to transform the education of its pupils. Rushey Mead Primary School has adopted Harper the Labrador as its therapy dog. Harper, aged 4, spends most days at the school where she has become a companion to its 500 students. She is often found at the school gates meeting and greeting pupils and parents but also lends a paw in the classroom. Jorja Bloomfield went to meet Harper and talk to the pupils and teachers.
