Vancouver library holds borrow a dog event in Sept. - Catherine - 08-03-2023
They are calling it a Canine Library event. It is actually sponsored by the Vancouver Public Library, Vancouver Park Board, Paws 4 Stories and the St John's Ambulance. You don't actually get to check out a dog and take it home, but you do get to spend time with a therapy dog, in the park, reading to it.
This is an extension of the Paws 4 Stories program that has children improve their reading skills by reading to shelter dogs.

This sounds like a beautiful event. Picture sitting in a park, enjoying the fresh air and sunshine with a dog beside you, while you read to it.
I wish we had something like this in Toronto.
I bet if we had dogs like this on our transit system things would run much smoother.

I'd be in that sounds wonderful.

We should have more dog events for people who don't have dogs.
A dog picnic would be nice.
