Powell River Public Library and St. John Ambulance Therapy Dogs know that younger kids find reading an intimidating experience. This is why the two organizations partnered so that children could practice reading out loud while having a gentle dog listen to them.

Sonia Zagwyn, the library children’s service coordinator, says that The Read to Dogs program was originally for geriatric patients and other sick individuals. But they found it to be beneficial for kids who are shy to read in front of their parents or peers. Terry Faubert, one of those who tried the program, brought her grandson with her. According to her, the program would also serve as a good introduction to dogs.
