BARK

Gus and Lilikoi joined in the St. Patrick's Day fun while listening to readers in Huntington Beach and Torrance, respectively.

Congratulations to Kendra with Gallagher, Jill with Daisy, and Nancy with Alli who all passed the BARK evaluation and will soon be visiting schools and libraries to help kids learn to read.

Sometimes, we come across a wonderful book with a great story and the best illustrations. In Knitting for Dogs by Laurel Molk, you can clearly tell she knows dogs well. BARK loves this book.

BARK has been visiting with the students of Mr. Rappaport aka Mr. Hartley for about 15 years. Wherever he teaches, we will go. He's a great teacher who really connects with his students. Again this year, Scout taught the students about BARK and how to care for pets. Each received a book about interesting vet cases.

Buena Park library is so good at marketing the BARK program that we now send four dogs: Annabelle (Newfoundland), Falkor (Rottweiler), Rocket (Golden Retriever), and Gracie (Goldendoodle).

Do students look forward to their weekly reading visits with BARK dogs? This one planned the night before to wear her special vest for Ziggy.

Best wishes from Holiday (Black Labrador) and Eli (Golden Retriever).
