Taylor
Parks Elementary School welcomes the Fur Angels into their reading groups each
year.
This
is “Beau” with owner Cindy Leskun, and “Odie” with his owner Diane Schuler.
They are part of a non-profit organization solely comprised of volunteers
offering compassion and unconditional love through pet therapy.
The
program is a motivator to encourage better reading skills and self-confidence
in children. Here students meet with the dogs and the owners in the library to
read them a book of their choosing.
As
one Taylor Parks student remarked, "The dogs don't care is you have a hard
time reading, they love you anyway."
