Grant helps Vinny the dog stay in school

ALLIANCE — After wrestling with math concepts in class, first-grader Franky Knapik eases his mind by lightly rubbing Vinny. “He is a nice puppy,” said Franky, 7, who is one of the male boxer’s young friends at Northside Elementary School.

Vinny, a frequent visitor at the school, provides a calming effect for students, according to the Northside staff. His owner, Lesli Waller, is a special-education teacher, who brings Vinny to work.
