Reading to Dogs Program
I am involved with a couple of groups where the kids read to the dogs - mostly at libraries right now. Have you heard of this program and is there any interest. The kids sign up for a time - between 6 - 15 minutes - and they get to read to my dog. My dog is a certified therapy dog and is a standard poodle so shedding is not an issue. There are a few bookstores doing this and it seems successful in these stores. For more information please contact Mary Heitz at doublestandard2@msn.com or 651-982-2855. Thanks.
