From the Best Friends site -

Read about Tacoma - a good listener.

What a heartwarming story. Thanks for sharing, Gretchen.

I have read of other dogs in similar situations - with shy and introverted children blossoming when reading to dogs, and their reading skills improving greatly. It's amazing what these 4-legged fur creatures can accomplish.

Awww, what a nice story, and he's such a good boy! I was never shy or one bit introverted, but I talked to my Sheba dog all the time, especially when the other humans around got tired of listening, Sheba never did.

Very nice story. Thanks for sharing.

Loved the article. And I can vouch that it works wonders with all kids. We have that reading program once a week at our local library and my dogs took turns being the volunteers, they loved kids so it was great for both myself, my dogs and the kids.
