Shandy is the dog who launched 3,000 young readers. In 2003 she inspired me to start SitStayRead in Chicago to help at-risk children learn to read. Shandy was the first SSR dog and she loved to work with kids.
After adopting her from the Anti-Cruelty Society in 1993, Shandy went to work with me every day for nearly 17 years. Her spirit is my guiding star and this blog is named in her honor. Though it no longer focuses on SSR, I hope you enjoy the posts.

What a wonderful way to help students concentrate by using these
specially trained dogs for them to
read to.
Congratulations to the sweet dogs
and their trainers for a job well done. It's fun for both the dog
and the student.
BRAVO !!! : )
All the dogs are nice but
I like the Black Dog!!
