We’ve talked about a lot of things in the over 100 episodes we’ve shared together from why we read and titles we might love to how to read best and how to use reading to make life better. 

But today, we are talking about something I’ve only recently been exploring: the power of reading with furry, four-legged friends. 

Dr. Barb Vokatis, a reading therapy dog handler, is here to explore this idea with me and I’ll share three books with dogs as important main characters that I think you should add to your TBR stack, too. 

Here are the books mentioned in this episode. You’ll find links to my Amazon and Bookshop affiliate stores below. Thanks for your bookish support!

Teachers and Therapy Dog Teams: Innovative Collaborations to Make a Difference for Children by Barbara Vokatis & Lucinda Ormiston (Amazon)

A Dog’s Heart And Other Stories by Alix Kelso (Amazon)

One Good Thing by Alexandra Potter (Amazon)

The Dog Share by Fiona Gibson (Amazon / Bookshop)

Now, it’s your turn!

What do you think about the power of our pets to enhance our reading experience? I’d love to know your favorite books that include dogs, too.
