I came across a blog post this weekend, which talked about a multiple of stories about animals that contribute to society in some way or another.  My favorite part was about the new puppy the Streetsboro Police Department got to start training as an official K-9 police dog. He looked so cute!!

Another interesting part on this blog was a post about a library that brings dogs in to help children excel in reading. The dogs are certified “therapy dogs,” and they listen to children read to them. This is such a great opportunity for kids because it is proven that the practice actually helps!

Like I said before, I love finding posts and stories like this!! It’s so great to see that so many people involve their pets in their daily lives. Not only is it great to see the use of animals when helping others, but also it’s even better to see that there is a significant impact these animals bring to people’s lives.

This week I have been trying to reach an agreement with Mrs. Nowakowski to meet so I finish my last module, but she’s pretty busy, so I have started to go down different routes. I have been emailing and calling different barns in Maryland where they perform therapy riding lessons. Hopefully I have better luck with them!
