Last week, some of our therapy dog teams visited the Howard County Library Elkridge Branch for the D.E.A.R. (Dogs Educating & Assisting Readers) program! 📚🐾
During the visit, children had the opportunity to practice their reading skills while spending time with our therapy dogs in a calm, supportive environment. From sharing stories to enjoying plenty of pets and tail wags, it was such a special experience for everyone involved.
Programs like D.E.A.R. help build confidence, encourage a love of reading, and show just how meaningful the bond between people and dogs can be.
