    What’s the Orphan Crushing Machine here? That stray dogs are being kept at a shelter instead of being out on the street? I know it sucks to realize, but the idea that every dog not having a loving nuclear family to take care of it is sort of a pipe dream. This seems like the best possible scenario all around. Even the shelter looks nice and clean.

      While the kids were reading, somebody brutally murdered their parents and the next day they were sold into slavery.

      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.

        Plus, don’t forget that the kids also get practice time reading, so it brutally slaughters 2 birds with 1 stone

          Probably true but I’m still happy that someone spends some time with them. Perhaps they get to play with the kids as well

      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.

            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.

    Why can’t the kids just read to each other if they feel alone. Stoopid.
