Come spend time with the wonderful Wags for Hope therapy dog teams Mable, Raymond, and Rosie as they settle in for a story-filled morning of reading and relaxation.

Paw out a favorite book, get cozy, and Sit. Stay. Read. with our four-legged listeners who are all ears and ready to enjoy every page! 📖🐶

This program helps build confidence in reading while sharing the calm, comforting presence of therapy dogs—because sometimes the best audience has paws.

📚🐾 On June 1st, Wags For Hope was honored to be invited to the Emmitsburg Elementary School Career Fair!

What an exciting day it was sharing with students what a therapy animal does and how therapy animal teams make a difference in our community. One of the most important lessons we taught was:

**"T is for Touch"** – You can touch a therapy animal! Therapy animals are specially trained and enjoy providing comfort, smiles, and companionship to those they visit.

Students learned about some of the places our teams visit, including Frederick Health Hospital, local libraries for our Read to a Therapy Dog programs, nursing homes, and most importantly, schools!

One student asked if we ever let the dogs run free. We explained that we always keep a leash in hand to help keep both our therapy animals and the students safe.

The students were thrilled to meet Team Lucy, CoCo, and Woodie**, and they especially enjoyed the special coloring pages created just for the event.

Thank you, Emmitsburg Elementary School, for inviting Wags For Hope to participate in your Career Fair. We had a wonderful time meeting everyone and sharing the important work of therapy animals!
