At Archbishop Molloy High School in Briarwood, Queens a special new member has joined the freshman class: Giovanni, a 12-week-old Labrador-Golden Retriever mix.
The adorable service dog in training, part of the Canine Companions for Independence program, is winning hearts and earning high marks for cuteness from students.
Guided by math teacher Austin Power, Giovanni is learning essential skills to assist individuals with disabilities.
Power is not only teaching algebra but also training Giovanni to serve the community.
The puppy will stay with Power for at least a year and a half before advancing to specialized training.
If all goes well, Giovanni will eventually find a forever home, providing vital support to someone in need.
