Kevin is one of the most popular guys at Beaudesert State High School.

The four year old long-haired French Bulldog helps out as a reading dog alongside social worker Jess Bedford.

Here’s what Jess has to say about Kevin.

“I rescued him last year for my autistic son and just seeing how good he was with him, I thought he’d be an excellent companion for the kids at the school, so I got him assessed through the Animal Welfare League as a reading dog,” she said.

“He lives in the school Wellbeing Hub when I’m here four days a week and he goes up to the library and helps with book club.”
