Library Dogs

Source: http://www.31fss.com/library.shtml

The Aviano Library has a unique program that is well worth the trip to base if you have young ones. A couple of Saturdays a month a group of about 5 or 6 local Americans who have therapy dogs {or dogs who are training to become therapy dogs} bring their four-legged friends to the library to be read to by Aviano children. 

Sounds a little odd that the dogs are being read to maybe. But let me tell you, nothing is more comfortable than curling up with a big fuzzy puppy and a good book. The children, and the dogs, really enjoy it!

I can tell you from experience that my reluctant reader will go through at least four books at any given session. He happily reads aloud to each dog and even shows them the pictures. At home with this one, reading requires prodding, bribing, and begging! Put him with a furry audience though and he can't get enough!

Tomorrow, 24 Sep, from 1000-1200 is the next scheduled "Reading with Dogs" day.

Hope to see you and your little reader there!
