Abstract
This chapter presents the basic concept and the components of the Dogs in Learning (DiL) program, as a true reflection of the gMp. The implementation of the program at ACS Athens has shown that curriculum subjects can be taught more effectively and in a playful and enjoyable manner when the learner is fully engaged with the help of dogs in the learning process. By following a Spiral Curriculum using instructional dogs, several basic issues related to human behavior are internalized by the students. In addition, the DiL program can successfully address the bullying phenomenon of our society; and, finally, the DiL program can inspire students to develop the wisdom to transform their educational experience.
