Besides being sensitized about being kind to animals, compassionate to people and to respect the environment, STRAW exposed about 150 students from Classes I to V to a three-legged dog named Junior who had lost one of his legs during a road accident.
"Junior" is a docile and well behaved dog who was kind enough to allow students to touch him. Though the students were very scared to begin with, within a few minutes, they volunteered and came forward to touch the dog. I am sure this incident will go a long way in they getting over their fear of dogs.
