On a sunny Wednesday morning, SI therapy dogs Sammi (who lives with Meg and Jonathan Davidson) and Lola (who lives with Debbie Robinson and Ed Houff) were working in a children’s reading program at the Johns Island Public Library. The children’s librarian at the branch enthusiastically incorporates therapy dogs from the Alliance of Therapy Dogs, of which Sammi and Lola and their handlers are members, into many of the library’s special events.
Lola and Sammi had an extra treat in store for them on this particular Wednesday, however, when they got to meet Griffin (age 6) and Zoe (age 8) Smith Rzewnicki who also live on Seabrook! Griffin and Zoe are proficient readers who helped celebrate Dr. Seuss’s birthday at the library on March 2. If you have a friendly dog whom you think would enjoy working as part of a therapy dog team, contact the Alliance of Therapy Dogs or Southeastern Therapy Animal Resources (STAR).
