Kelly Webb, top, the school psychlogist at Putnam Elementary School, congratulates a student who is working with Shelby, a trained dog from HABIC (Human Animal Bond In Colorado) at Putnam Elementary School on Jan. 17, 2013, and Shelby's owner, Sandy Dailey. Dailey and Shelby have volunteered as a team for five years with HABIC, a program for the past 20 years. The program uses the human-animal bond to assist in therapy and activities at everywhere from schools and nursing homes to rehabilitation facilities and detention centers. The group has 150 active human-animal partnerships using 149 dogs and one cat. (AP Photo/The Coloradoan, V. Richard Haro)
