(ROCKWALL, TX – Oct 8, 2015) The Kiwanis Club of Rockwall recently welcomed Love On A Leash’s representative Donna Stottlemyer of Royse City and her four-legged friend BreeAnna.
BreeAnna is an Irish Wolfhound trained who has been trained as a therapy dog. She is the epitome of a “gentle giant.” She has the most soulful eyes and gentle, loving demeanor and LOVES attention.
Love On A Leash is a registered non-profit, entirely volunteer organization training dogs of various breeds and their owners for therapy services. Their primary service is to brighten the day of others in nursing homes, hospitals, schools, and libraries providing emotional support.
One surprising specialty is helping children to read! Experience has shown that children who are shy or may normally struggle reading aloud, improve their reading skills due to lessened stress by reading to the dogs.
The Rockwall County Library has hosted this event before and soon other area libraries may follow.
