Orka: Rimaskóli staff member

At Rimaskóli, a new and unusual staff member has drawn significant attention and affection from students — none other than Orka, a friendly dog who has made herself at home in the classroom. Orka is part of the development project "Dog in the classroom," which aims to improve children's well-being and learning environment through the presence of an animal. Students describe Orka as their best friend and say she helps them focus, calms the atmosphere and makes school more enjoyable. The project is led by Dagný Gísladóttir, Orka's owner and a teacher.

Here's a fun news story that appeared recently about Orka.
