Cocoa & Cram- Rockland High School

January 15, 2026

Our Plymouth County Comfort Dogs were invited to join Rockland High School’s staff for a Cocoa & Cram session. The Cocoa & Cram Session is an opportunity for students to get together in the school library to study for their upcoming midterms. The school provided snacks, drinks and hot cocoa for the students. Our comfort dogs were on hand to allow the students to take a break from the stressors of studying and relax by interacting with the dogs before getting back on track.

Special thanks to our comfort dog teams: Kinley & Officer Schnabel (Rockland), Blue & Officer Billings (Scituate), Opry & Officer Ford (Hingham), Morgan & Officer Connor (East Bridgewater), Lexi & Det. Baptiste (Wareham) and Nola & Sgt. Harrington (Whitman)
