May 2011 Jan Weatherford and Barb Odell's "Skye" (Longhaired Whippet/Spanish greyhound)
received a "Good Citizenship" award from the Mayor of Oxford, PA. for his work in the READ2ME program at the Oxford Library. It has been proven children not only are more interested in reading when the listener is a dog but their reading level improves. Skye, on the other hand, is very interested in the children because of the pets they give and the occasional treat. At times, Skye and a child are laying side by side, as the child reads, his hand draped over Skye's shoulder.Click here for a picture of Skye dressed up for his award.
