Mango - Loves Park PD Therapy Dog

06/03/2026

Whether it's a classroom, a hallway, or a garden full of roses, my job is pretty simple:

Show up.
Be kind.
Accept belly rubs.

The first two are for everyone else. The last one is for me. 🐾❤️

Wow... I can't believe my first year in the schools as the Loves Park Police Department's therapy dog has almost come to an end!

Happy last day of school, everyone! 🎉

Thank you to all of the students, teachers, and staff who made me excited to come to "work" each day. Whether I was helping calm nerves, offering comfort during a tough day, or simply soaking up belly rubs, I loved being a calming presence for so many of you.

I made lots of new friends this year, and I'll be counting down the days until I get to see you all again. Until then, enjoy your summer everyone!

Love,
Mango
