Man's Best Friend to the rescue yet again! What better way to get kids reading, probably the most important thing they'll ever do in building positive futures for themselves. I also had no idea that such a program existed. I hope to see it in Australia and worldwide very soon. Great stuff! What an innovative and fantastic idea… Man’s Best Friend to the rescue yet again!

I had no idea such a program existed but what better way to learn to read and improve self-confidence than to read to a non-judgemental and loving being. Kudos to those organizations that have brought children, dogs and the love of books together. I am going to incorporate this in my home with my grandchildren. They will love it! This is amazing.
