Link to June 21 Milwaukee Journal Sentinel article, "Books get 'dog-eared' as part of library reading program".Excerpt: It's 10 a.m. Saturday and 9-year-old Holly Peksa is ready to read a book about dogs to a dog.
"Dogs come in more shapes and sizes than any other mammal," she reads as Riley, a certified therapy dog and great listener, sits at her feet. "Dogs naturally get along with humans . . . they want to be part of a group."
For three years, Holly has been coming to the Bay View Library, 2566 S. Kinnickinnic Ave., for the free Read to Rover program, a 25-minute reading session with a specially trained dog.
