It’s the cutest thing ever —
2019 edition!
Youngsters recited children’s
books to dogs at the
PowerHouse on Eighth bookstore
on March 27, as part of
the borough’s only annual
event where kids learn to
read — and Brooklyn learns
to feel again.
“It was very, very adorable,”
said Mika Kleban,
who organized this year’s
Kids Read to Dogs event.
“Kids read, dogs were pet, all
was well.”
This year’s Kids Read to
Dogs event featured 50 firstgraders,
ages 6 to 7, from PS
107 reading to registered
therapy dogs at the Eighth
Avenue book seller, where
the pooches offered youngsters
— newly set upon the
path to literacy — a judgement
free audience of very
good listeners, according to
the mom, who serves on the
PS 107 PTA’s Beast Relief
Committee, which teaches
kids about conservation,
and raises money to support
endangered species.
“The whole concept behind
this event is to give
kids a non-judgemental,
non-threatening audience,”
said Kleban.
This year’s event featured
Rocky the Australian
shepherd, Cosi the
Spinone Italiano, Kylo the
Yorkshire terrier, Fonzie
the German shepherd,
and Karat, a 6-year-old
Labrador Retriever, who
has the sweetest, saddest
eyes in the whole world,
pictures show.
The dogs were educated
to provide unconditional
love to the sick, elderly, and
all-around melancholy residents
of New York.
They endured a rigorous
training program that
promotes only the city’s
best behaved furballs,
according to a rep from
the foundation.
“What people in our organization
have said is that
every dog is a great dog,
but not every dog is a Good
Dog,” said Carly Goteiner,
director of community engagement
at the Good Dog
Foundation.
On March 27, some dogs
proved better listeners than
others, who took story time
as their que to take a nap,
while the youngsters gave
them pets and scratches,
Goteiner said.
“Some of them used it as
an opportunity to relax and
get pets, but others listened
very intently,” she said.
But the foundation’s
strict training regimen
shined through in the end,
according to Goteiner, who
claimed who dogs set a great
example for the kids.
“I might be biased, I have
to say the dogs were better
behaved,” she said. “But the
kids were great.”
THE BEST: Karat is the sweetest lady ever — and a great reading
companion. Mika Kleban
