According to one middle school student who attends Bay District Schools in Florida, they’re sad.
On Monday, a bearded dragon was discovered to be hiding in a student’s backpack. The school shared on Facebook that they rehoused the reptile in a USPS box until an adult was able to come to school to pick up the bearded dragon named Jango.
When asked why the student brought she pet to school, she said she didn’t want him to be sad and alone all day, so she brought him to school to keep him company.
Although an extremely sweet gesture, Bay District Schools reminded parents to check their children’s backpacks before they head out the door for any stowaways.
Jango is currently back at home and reportedly “super tired” after his first, and most likely last, day of school.
