Achilles, the dog from Danson Primary School, has been recognized as the nation's best school dog, winning the top prize at the National School Dog Alliance's awards. Co-Head teacher Anne Allen described waking him up to collect his prize as a surreal moment. She initially had no plans for Achilles to be a support dog, but his presence rapidly captured the hearts of the students and staff, leading to official duties. His impact has grown, aiding students with social and emotional needs, and he's addressing post-COVID attendance challenges.
