At a Taichung animal-welfare course, therapy dogs Beibei and OK helped children learn to observe canine body language, give cues, offer rewards and approach dogs respectfully.

Taichung, Taiwan

Story

The Taichung course asked children to observe therapy dogs before touching or interacting, turning excitement into respectful contact.

Beibei ran through a tunnel formed by children, and OK practiced cues and rewards with them under professional guidance.

The archive keeps this story because early animal-welfare education can prevent fear, rough handling and misunderstanding later.
