LENORE, W.Va. (WCHS) — Mingo County Schools welcomed a new staff member this week. The four-legged therapist is a black lab named Kylo, the latest K9 to be assigned to West Virginia schools in the state’s Friends With Paws program.

Students and staff at Lenore PK-8 had the chance to meet Kylo during a “pup rally” Wednesday morning, according to a news release from Gov. Jim Justice’s Office. First lady Cathy Justice helped welcome the pooch to his new place of work.

“Kylo is going to be a great therapy dog for Lenore PK-8,” Justice said. “He scored the highest score possible in the therapy dog disposition text, and I have no doubt that he will exceed expectations in his new home in Mingo County.”
