Kids Care For Pets Left Behind By Deployed Troops - Cincinnati News Story - WLWT Cincinnati
Some local students are helping troops stationed overseas by caring for their pets.
The program started when first grade teacher Stacie Kegley, of Stephens Elementary School in Boone County, introduced a lesson on making a difference.
"We talked about how large groups of people make a difference in the world every day, but that each of us can make a difference," Kegley said.
The students help care for dogs left behind at Sundance Pet Resort by deployed troops.
"Even if you're a first-grader, you can make a difference," said Deanna Scott, who owns Sundance Pet Resort.
That's what student Austin Duncin learned through his work with the dogs.
"We go like anywhere and buy food treats, toys and a whole bunch of other stuff," the first-grader said.
