First-grade students at Southside Elementary School go hands-on with Ken, Bonner County’s courtroom dog. Handler Peggy Frye of the Bonner County Prosecutor’s Office showed the working dog to students and encouraged them to establish their personal boundaries and identify people they can confide in if those boundaries are crossed. Ken, a black Labrador/golden retreiver mix, provides quiet solace to children and others involved in court proceedings.
