Community Education at Browning Elementary

 Barrio Dogs’ Education and Therapy Coordinator, Jennifer Washam, accompanied by therapy dog Chloe, recently conducted a presentation at Browning Elementary School on the proposed Breed Specific legislation. Our organization hopes to help children understand the implications of this legislation and what it could mean to their own pets, many of which are pit bulls. We also encouraged the students to write letters not only to the sponsors of the legislation, Senator Kevin Eltife and Representative Chuck Hopson, but to their own local representative to express their opinions about the proposed legislation. As a result of this visit, the students at Browning Elementary took on a poster project to voice their opinions. Please view these beautiful educational posters. We are so proud of these students and also proud of the educational work that Jennifer Washam and Chloe have accomplished.
