Parker, the school secretary, and trainer Christy Gardner of Lewiston have cared for Lucky. Parker and Lucky need to pass four tests for Lucky to become a certified therapy dog and the first test comes Saturday in Brunswick, Parker said. “I am a little excited and a little nervous,” she Parker. Lucky lives with Parker, her husband, Jeffrey, and daughter, Julia. Lucky will come to school with Parker to work with students. Daryn Slover/Sun Journal Buy this Photo
