Micah the reading dog

Micah, The Reading Therapy Dog, recently visited Sara Harp Minter Elementary. Micah is a certified "Reading" Dog who has been trained to "read" with students! Some of Minter's first grade students came to the Media Center to read to Micah! Micah's owner is Lauren Strickland, Administrative Assistant at PAWS, an animal rescue organization in Columbus, Ga. Therapy dogs often visit schools to read with children, or go to the pediatric section of hospitals. Pictured with Micah are Jacob Galloway, Benjie Rutland, and Michael Stowe. Photo/Special.
