At the Virginia Military Institute this fall, 1,600 students from across the country will face new challenges. For those struggling to adjust, Lt. Col. John Casper and his yellow Labrador, CAVU, are there to help. "Chaplain ministry is crisis ministry," Casper says, highlighting how CAVU's presence helps break down barriers and open up crucial conversations. Trained to assist in both emotional support and practical tasks, CAVU proves that sometimes a furry friend is just what you need to start a conversation and find support. 🐾🎓
