🐾 POV: KOSMO EDITION // New school year. Same very important job: making sure every Wildcat gets the welcome they deserve. ❤️🐶

Kosmo was back on duty this week, greeting friends, settling in for story time, delivering the mail, and keeping a close eye on all the excitement. Safe to say, he was VERY happy to have his Wildcats back. 🐾

📹 Special thanks to our friends at United Disabilities Services Foundation for featuring Kos in this adorable video!
