Some dogs love to relax at home. Others like to run around on a farm or work in a fire station. In Krieger's Crew, you'll meet Krieger, the dog who loves to go to school! Learn about how Krieger, an elementary school facility dog, helps the students and teachers at his school every day. Facility dogs, a special type of trained therapy dog, can fill a unique role and have a huge positive impact on their school communities.

Whether you're someone who just loves dogs, or you're interested in getting a facility dog in your school community, this book highlights the power of our canine companions.

Virginia A. Hiltz is an elementary school principal and dog lover. As a former teacher and librarian, she'd always dreamed of publishing a children's book—she found great inspiration in seeing the impact her dog, Krieger, has made on children. She hopes you enjoy Krieger's story, and she would love to inspire other principals to consider adding a facility dog to their schools!

When Virginia and Krieger aren't working with kids, you can find them spending time with their family, going on walks, visiting national parks in their camper, and, of course, reading together.
