One of my passions in addition to the dogs themselves is
therapy work.  
Therapeutic Paws of Canada is a
Canadian wide charity that provides therapy animals for
people and children in a variety of venues.
Being a teacher gives me the unique
opportunity to combine my job with the
dogs.  The
Paws to ReadR  program
allows the dogs to come into the school
and spend time interacting with the
children of all ages.  Students can read to
the dogs one on one which has shown to
increase confidence, boost self esteem
and reading ability.  If you are interested
in learning more about the program
please don't hesitate to
contact me.
