We have similar programs in K'town. And there is another one .... I've been trying to find a link in the archives of the local rag, but no luck so far .... a dog that goes into schools to help kids who have difficulty with reading, usually those in the poorer areas of town. Kids who refuse to read to a human, will quite happily read to this dog. Amazing critters!
Can you imagine how empty your life would be without a dog?
