International School of Athens

This visit was all the idea of young George, a gifted student of the International School of Athens, who, for this year’s project chose the topic of “Animal Abuse” and took the initiative, all on his own, to invite our team over, to enrich his work and offer more insight to his classmates. Geοrge was really happy we could make it and we were of course so happy to get this special invitation. George sent us the following letter following our visit.

“Dear SAPT

Thank you very much for the visit to our school. The students learned a lot of valuable information about the proper treatment of dogs. I loved the interactive learning experience that you gave everyone who was there. It was a unique opportunity for everyone to participate in a learning experience that was very informative and fun. I believe that it was a “once in a life time” experience for everyone and I am very grateful to you that you made it possible. Your presentation was exactly what I imagined my action plan needed and I’m glad everything worked out.

Sincerely,

George”

Our presentation starts by us laying out dogs' needs

And, in doing so, we always for the help of the participating students in order to make sure we don't forget any

Another important question is what the students think our dogs have in common

Which is, that they were all strays, once upon a time, before we adopted them and are all of mixed-bred

Is the doghouse in the yard our dog's "home" or is it our home is home too?

Time to pickup after our dog. Simple, right?

Athena and the student are inviting Bigla to come closer

Notice the other student in the back doing the exact same thing

So, Bigla decides to come and get praised

But also, go by the student in the back too... so that noone thinks she'0s... rude!

Liselle is now the oldest member of our four-legged team so she is able to totally relax around children.

Our own George has been helping the team out since he was 5

Young George was the one who chose animal abuse as a topic for his project and invited our team on that occasion
