Jozee greeting students a few weeks before she died.

It's always difficult to say farewell to a trusted, beloved friend.

It's been especially difficult for OPS's Adams Elementary School community, which lost Jozee, the school's therapy dog, on Jan. 27.

Jozee came to Adams when she was still a puppy and died one day short of her 12th birthday.
