Golden Retriever puppyAfter rescuing stranded people in mountains and hilly terrain and guiding the blind, dogs are now being used in German schools to boost performance in the classroom. Despite a grainy, gray September morning, the mood is upbeat in a class in Karlsruhe in Germany: and that's largely because Paula, a six year-old Golden Retriever, is here.

Dogs are being brought into schools since the end of the 1990s and there are about 120 institutions welcoming canines.
