7. Hi everyone, I have been meaning
to introduce myself. You may have
seen me around the school taking
my human for a walk. My name is
Mardigan, but most people call me
Mardy (it’s easier to remember). I
have joined the school’s
counselling team as the Emotional
Support Animal (I have a license to
prove it).
I come most days with my human,
Mrs. Ladan. We share an office
down the hall by the library.
When you see me, feel free to give
me a pet, it’s my favourite thing
about work. You can also come by
to see me if you are having a “ruff”
day, lol.
