Prince worked as a therapy dog at Portage High School in Indiana for four years before retiring this spring. To honor the pup's service, the school opted to include him in the yearbook among all the graduating seniors and let him lead the pack of students during the graduation ceremony last Sunday.
The nine-year-old golden retriever has worked in the guidance office with his handler Tim Kunstek, a counselor at the high school. He is one of the Lutheran Church Charities K-9 Comfort dogs, who have had a busy year offering comfort to the victims of tragedies all over the nation. Most recently they provided comfort to the victims of the Oklahoma tornadoes.
To honor and remember all he has contributed to the school Prince had a professional yearbook photo taken like all the other students and is in the yearbook with the rest of the class of 2013. On Sunday Prince will lead the graduating class onto the football field for their graduation ceremony.
