How do you spell Big Dog?
Ace, after a bit of a hiatus, got back in the saddle as a Karma Dog yesterday at the Baltimore County Public Library’s Woodland branch.
Everyone agreed — as the wooden blocks attest — he was a sizeable canine.
Yesterday was the last of the season at the Woodland Library for HEARTS (Helping Encouraging All Readers to Succeed) — one of several Karma Dogs programs.
In it, children read to dogs, who because they don’t judge, criticize and correct, help students grow more confident in their reading skills.
A new round of summer reading programs start in June at the libraries in Towson and Pikesville, and in July in Whiteford
For more information about the reading program, go here. To learn how your dog could become a certified therapy dog, visit this page on the Karma Dogs website.
