A Book Does a Body Good: Give

May 2nd, 2007 by Progressive Wednesday

Give:

We recently learned about therapy dogs being used by elementary school children as a way to improve their reading skills. The children read aloud to the dog, and often feel more comfortable doing this because the dog sits calmly nearby, apparently listening, and giving no criticisms.

So there’s three things you could do:

1. Learn more about therapy dogs here and here.
2. Contact Therapy Dogs International (here’s their homepage) and see if your dog could qualify for the reading program.
3. Donate a small amount of money to this fantastic organization.
