That's what Lola does and other dogs do in our group besides the usual nursing home and hospital visits. Next week there is a group that will do the same as they do with children except it will be for seniors. As it turns out some seniors found out about the kids therapy dog reading program and wanted one for themselves also. Depending on turnout it could be a regular monthly event for the seniors as it is now a regular monthly event for the children.

My therapy dog group does this at a couple libraries in the area. It's such a neat idea
