Reading With Rover

Dogs in Wheaton are inspiring kids to read!  A popular program at the public library called "Reading With Rover" teaches kids to enjoy reading, while building their confidence at the same time.  Take a look!!!

Proud to say that Rufus and Pam live next door to my childhood home! They are an amazing team, and its great to see them helping all these kids!

If Pam fakes a sneeze Rufus will bring her a tissue. My fav trick of his, by far!
