About My Pal, Luke

We know that the COVID-19 pandemic, the resulting stay-at-home orders, and school and youth program closures or distance learning have been very difficult for young people. This is the perfect time to promote social emotional learning in response to the negative impacts of these events.

Visits by or the presence of a comfort dog would ease these impacts for young people, both in school and afterschool programs. However, COVID-19 restrictions make it impossible to schedule visits by a comfort dog. Thus, Temescal Associates and The How Kids Learn Foundation are working to create videos with a virtual talking comfort dog that young people can access online.

My Pal, Luke is designed to address many social emotional elements through his words and questions, including a check-in with kids. Luke also reads his favorite books and educates kids on how to make sense of current events.
