This article from National Geographic News explains how kids with reading problems are improving their reading skills by reading, yes, you guessed it, to dogs! '...children are more willing to read to dogs than to their classmates, in part because kids who stumble over new words know their furry friends won't make fun of them." Fascinating. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2002/10/1001_021001_READdogs.html Fetch Link 5555555555555555555555555555555555555555 The Straight Poop FEATURED DOG COMIC STRIP Get Fuzzy http://www.unitedmedia.com/comics/getfuzzy/ Fetch Link _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ a trusted sponsor Thinking ahead to the holiday season and all those cards you'll be sending?
