GPL Calendar Event Description:
Join us for an evening devoted to all things therapy dog! Judy Bush, who is a therapy dog evaluator for the international organization Alliance of Therapy Dogs, will discuss the qualities of a successful therapy dog, what they do, and how they get certified for volunteer work. Next, a team member from K-9 Reading Buddies of the North Shore will share their experience serving the public with their therapy dog. There will be a short reading by Glencoe resident Craig Scalise, indie author of the youth book A Dog’s Story: Misty’s Healing Power. Craig’s dog, Misty, was one of the Paws for Patrick teams that helped people in Highland Park after the 2022 parade. Therapy dogs will be present. For adults and older teens.
