The Humane Society of Sarasota County (HSSC) brought four–legged guests to the grand opening of the new media center at Emma E. Booker Elementary on November 15. HSSC works with Booker Elementary to provide humane education programs, bringing certified pet therapy dogs to classrooms to promote respect and compassion for animals in the youngest members of society.
