How a Plush Dog Named Turbobo Is Transforming Mental Health in Schools 

On today’s episode of Classroom Dynamics, we’re diving into an unexpected but powerful tool for emotional wellbeing — and yes, it’s soft, cuddly, and surprisingly effective. 

Meet Turbobo, a plush therapy dog designed to reduce stress, anxiety, and promote mental wellness for people of all ages. From classrooms to college dorm rooms, Turbobo is proving that sometimes the simplest solutions — like a hug — can have the biggest emotional impact. 

We’re joined by Ryan Miele, the visionary Brown University student behind Turbobo. Inspired by the unconditional love of his childhood dog, Turbo, Ryan created this one-of-a-kind comfort companion infused with five clinically backed strategies to support emotional regulation and resilience. 

Tune in as we explore the science, story, and heart behind Turbobo — and how this plush pup is quietly transforming emotional support, one squeeze at a time.
