Meet Karine Ribeiro, a high school English teacher in Brazil. In early August of this year, her students had a surprise class, completely absent from the school curriculum. Their teachers taught them how to be a good human being.
On the last Tuesday of August, when she entered the classroom where her students were gathered, she noticed that there was a new member in the class. It was not a child, but a random dog.
Realizing that dogs were not in her classroom to learn a new language, she asked the students if they had adopted a puppy or knew anyone who did. In the interview, Ribeiro said: “They said ‘No’. When I saw her looking lost, my mother and dog instincts kicked in.”
The teacher did not want to chase the puppy that broke this class. The woman did the opposite. When the puppy looks scared, to comfort it, she just picks it up and swings it in her arms and starts her daily clock without stopping.
She also said, “I thought, ‘What if this is one of my dogs?!’ I wish they would hug her! She’s very quiet, she seems to like the situation.”
One student in the class took several photos of her teacher holding a puppy and then shared them with her. When the bell rings at the end of the hour,
Ribeiro solved the mystery of the lost dog on his own and finally solved it. The dog followed a 2nd grader and got lost in the wrong classroom. The puppy and the real owner were soon reunited.
Ribeira’s students will surely remember the day the dog came to class as a happy memory at school, and she also hopes they will part with something more impressive. Finally, she said: “I adopted two dogs that lived on the street as soon as I moved here. I always wanted to teach that we should show care, empathy and respect for our pets, especially the homeless.”
