There are small ways to make a difference and this lady from the North Shore in Pittsburgh is the perfect example. The Internet recently saw heartwarming photos of her reading to shelter dogs to make them feel less lonely.
A redditor nicknamed puglife123 shared a photo featuring the lady reading a book called “The pup and the biscuit” to one of the shelter dogs, an old lady pit bull named Jade. It happened at the Western Pennsylvania Humane Society where puglife123 volunteers.
The dogs won’t understand what she’s reading, but hearing a calm human voice has proven to comfort shelter animals before. This is a nice reminder that there are other ways besides adoption to support animals who have forgotten what it means to be loved.
“This woman comes to my local humane society and sits in front of the dogs cage and reads books to the dogs”

There’s also a Book Buddies program that helps children improve their reading skills while also helping shelter animals

What are great ideal! Wonderful getting children to read to the animals!
It's a very heart warming idea and a good place to go and read instead of just reading at home.
Both the lady's individual initiative and the children's programme is the kind of news that makes you feel so good about certain things in life.

That's great, not only teaching children to be kind to animals but helping them with their reading as well :) Someone thought outside the box and made this happen :)
Shelters assess how safe it is to be with a dog, but it would be lovely to be allowed into the cage space. However the behavior assessment must be respected.
I love the program that helps children and animals by having kids read to them.
This brought tears. What a kind thing to do for these animals. It is really wonderful to involve children too.
any loving soul that reaches out to help another living creature is hero in my book.
I LOVE THIS. Feeling human beings helping lonely animals & each other, together. LOVE THIS !!
That is something I could do at my local shelter. Thanks for loving animals.
