I wonder if anyone has pics of the dogs being read to?

Sylvia, yeah you’re right. Cats and nonjudgmental don’t go together do they? :)

Litlove, lol, I’m sure I don’t know any judgmental cats ;)

BooksPlease, I like how your cat offers opinions on your reading :)

Jenclair, isn’t it wonderful? I’ve seen therapy dogs at a hospital. They really do make a difference.

Jodie, I don’t know if they have the program in Britain. If not, maybe you could start one up?

Lisa, creative efforts at improving literacy are always wonderful to hear about especially when they are successful!

Dorothy, that is so cool that Muttboy has participated in the program!

Bob, now that would be really something for the dog to read to the child! :)

Em, that’s pretty funny. I like to read before I go to sleep too ;)

Nan, whoever thought of it is a genius.

Melanie, maybe you can get one going at your library :)

Jeane, the program sounds successful, I bet it will be around for quite some time.

Carrie, isn’t it great? I would have loved reading to a dog when I was a kid.

Daphne, ah you do have the perfect therapy reading cat!

Cat, I like to prop my book up on my knees and my cats like to crawl under my knees. If I move, the claws come out. It’s incentive to keep reading :)

Bikkuri, I’m sure you will do just fine!

I can see that I will have to work hard to give my children a free ear that is not judgmental.

It wouldn’t work with cats, though. My cat will curl up under the covers beside me if I read in bed, but she always seems irritated that I’m turning those pages instead of petting her.
