TAYLOR PARKS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL: Who let the dogs out?



What can be better than a wet nose?

Pupils at Taylor Parks Elementary School are very fortunate to be visited by the Fur Angels once a month.  These therapy dogs, along with their owners, enhance the reading experience for selected children.

The students actually read to the dogs.  Once the books are chosen, the students come to the library and take turns reading to not only the dogs, but also to the owners.  These selfless volunteers listen, question and encourage the students.  

The owners and their dogs pictured are Odie and Diane Schuler; Beau and Cindy Leskun; and Miss Blue with Joe Bereqszazy.  

They are just a small part of the Fur Angels Pet Therapy Group. The Fur Angels, along with their owners, have been visiting schools , libraries, hospitals and nursing home for more than 15 years.  For students, the dogs are the ideal audience, providing a positive and fun environment.

Question: Who let the dogs out?
Answer: No one. Taylor Parks let them in!
