    INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, Florida (WPTV) -- A new addition has joined the team at Indian River State College in St. Lucie County, and he's there to spread joy, not to fight crime.

Meet Graham, a 1-year-old beagle that has just been warmly welcomed to campus. As a therapy dog, heโ€™s on a mission to provide comfort and encouragement to students and staff alike.

Graham, a rescue dog, has completed a training program designed to help reduce stress and boost emotional well-being.

โ€œIntroducing the K-9 program was crucial in supporting our mission to turn negative energy into positive energy,โ€ Campus Safety Chief Salvatore Cardella said. โ€œOur officers serve as ambassadors of the college, and we strive to deliver a positive message to our students.โ€

Cardella also mentioned that Graham will be a supportive presence for his fellow officers on campus.
