Special K-9 Visit to FI School

by Jane Ahrens

A big thank you to the officers who brought their comfort K-9s to our school in late May 2025. Students and staff enjoyed the time they spent with us.

“Bon Voyage! We got to skip across the pond to visit Fisher’s Island. We spoke about our work as facility dogs, made new friends, and our tricks even got roaring applause from the tiny humans! We never got to visit Topper’s Ice Cream to get the pup cups that the handlers promised us. 😱😱

“Thank you to @fishersislandschool for having us and to my Records Bestie, Ashley, for setting it up! @grotontownpolice helped us get there safely, and no dogs jumped overboard! The Southold Police were great hosts as well! 

“Now next trip should consist of some beach time and pup cups, right?”
