Year 3 - Day 195 - July 13

Look who came to visit for Friday the 13th! This is Marley. He's a certified reading dog.

(No, he doesn't read) ;)

He holds the distinction of being the only dog I've met that I actually LIKE. I think it's because he's like a giant stuffed animal and sits really still and calmly at all times. :) He really is trained as a support dog. His owner brings him to school and to the library and kids read to him. The idea is that he's nonjudgmental (Cause, you know, he's a dog) and so kids learning to read can read out loud to Marley instead of their mom  or teacher for the 400th time. Since it's summertime he hadn't been to work lately, so his owner brought him in for the day while we worked on our curriculum writing.

He's a standard poodle AND HE DOESN'T SMELL LIKE A DOG.

P.S. No, he's not named after Marley the dog. He had his name first. :)
