A secondary school in Kildare has been reaping the rewards since a community dog named Viggo arrived on site in September.

Viggo is a two-year-old labrador who “didn’t make the cut” as an Irish Guide Dog for the Blind and now spends his time roaming the corridors alongside students and staff at Scoil Dara in Kilcock.
