This makes this 33 year old guy melt. We can’t save them all, but we can definitely try!

[@NazriB]

Lies again? Donuts Chinese

[@thedarci1368]

This is such a great idea for both cats and dogs and also the children. Gives the animals socialization and gets the kids to want to read which is always good. Wish they did this everywhere.....

[@vernam.c.mendiola8903]

It is beneficial for both the children and the dogs. I am a teacher and a parent of two sons and a fur baby.
Children can gain confidence and improve their fluency. Doggies feel the love and attention. 🥰📚

[@elgooghosent7080]

I hate dogs b1tch

[@shawnryan2197]

this is great. those dogs are beautiful! I hope they find forever homes

[@ericcampbell9672]

Love all dogs. Bless them and the kids as well

[@jakopflatekval6922]

Poor puppies. I hope some familys can take home a friend.;)

[@kathe.o.]

Good for strengthening the children's reading skills as well. Plus a fur-baby doesn't mind a mispronounced word or a slow reader. Win-win situation!

[@henrymannle1224]

Wonderful idea! Human emotion reacting to animal emotion. Perfect meeting ground.

[@DaWindyCityProductions]

Henry Mannle humans are animals lol

[@baljindersamra918]

Henry Mannl. Thanks

[@marilynnrogers559]

It's great for the kids and dogs. I love dogs.

[@maggie4619]

love this

[@horsegirl9362]

God bless the kids and the dogs and I hope the dogs get homes

[@yootoob2193]

Brilliant idea. Kids get to help kids at a safe distance from dogs so each child doesn't have to be supervised the entire time. Those dogs look so sweet when the anxiety goes away.

[@CecilCountyAnimalServices]

We are currently looking for volunteers to read to our shelter cats and dogs! Please stop by if you live in the Maryland/ Delaware area!

[@jper4684]

Wow! This is incredible

[@montevails7852]

i love dogs

[@KatieLeeTitus]

This was the best story I have ever seen ❤️

[@boombob8281]

That's just great

[@LoveBirds0323]

Really lovely idea, dogs deserve the best 👍😇😘😊❤️🙏

[@averykatusa4376]

Pure 💓

[@reesepinkerton4662]

I did that

[@estebanrivera7068]

Awesome video

[@Crimsonphilosophy]

sniff*

[@Geodxn]

it's like they're (the dogs) are in jail...yay for Biscuit :)

[@pep-o-butt672]

Would be better to take them home then just read a book tho

[@kathe.o.]

Iola, Baby steps...

[@AsharKoase]

A kid just like that might be the reason why any of those dogs are in there to begin with. That's some sick irony and this dog-culture stuff is disgusting.

[@rexremedy1733]

Leave the kids alone! Teach them good and useful things instead!
