PARKLAND, Fla. (AP) - The Florida high school where a mass shooting took place is getting a therapy dog to help students who need emotional support.
Ray and Diana Haneski adopted River, a 3-month-old Bernese mountain dog-poodle mix. Diana Haneski is a library media specialist at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and will bring River with her each day when classes resume next month. River will be available for students and staff members who need comforting.
The dog was donated by Utah Bernedoodles.
Fourteen students and three staff members died in the Feb. 14 attack. Former student Nikolas Cruz is charged with 17 counts of murder.
