    I've not had one as a classroom pet, but I have as a pet at
    home. Some things to consider, if you haven't already, are
    allergies and sleeping conditions. What about potty
    breaks? Walks? Also, where would the dog go on breaks and
    weekends? Some students may be afraid of dogs, so that
    would also need to be a consideration. As I'm sure you
    know, different breeds are better suited than others. I
    have a Miniature Pinscher that I do not think would work
    well. She has too much energy and would not do well in a
    confined area for long periods of time. However, there are
    other breeds that would work quite nicely.

    I think dogs are a great way to make people happy.
    Hopefully this will work out for you and your classroom! :)
