Read To Your...Dog!?!

(Pictured above: my dog Calvin, enjoying a delicious read!)

The other day when I was at the library, there was a special reading going on. The reading was being done by children…. to dogs. Yes, you read that right. Dogs!

I asked the lady sitting in front of the room with dogs in it and she “explained” that these dogs were trained therapy dogs and the children could read to them. Amused, I decided to watch for a bit.

Sure enough, children took turns going into the special room, introducing themselves to the dog, and then reading their story to the dog. It was a sight to see!

I’m not sure I fully understand the concept, but I know this:

I like to see kids reading.
I like dogs.

So, why not?
Have you read to your dog lately?

Truly,
