Be sure your pup is nearby because you'll want a big furry hug. We never know what the next moment will bring so keep your loved ones close.
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.

I was watching this show Sunday morning with friends. When the tease for this story came on, I said "oh, I'm going to cry for sure."
But I hadn't anticipated a few actual sobs. This was a really sad-turned-happy story -- really got me.
Thanks for posting.
