      They don’t care about the content obviously, but they love when you just give them attention. You can see the dogs are very engaged with their child.

      My dog loves when people tell her stories! It’s less about the content and more about the interaction. The book is totally for the child’s benefit so they can learn to read.

        There’s also the bonus of showing kids that good dogs come from shelters and not just breeders, and definitely not from puppy mills. These kids will remember this when it’s time to get a dog.

        This made me imagine a TV show where a kid reads to their dog but the dog understands and is imagining themselves as the book’s main character and every week we get a new story starring the dog.

        There are better interactions for a dog. For their sake, at least, if that’s a priority here at all. The kids will learn to read regardless.

          Someone: does something good.

          Always that one person: but why not do another good thing instead?

            You really came here to turn someone’s opinion into a problem, didn’t you.

            If “we can do better” is problematic for you, then you’re the one with the issue and not the people pointing things out.
