Kindergarteners at the Westhampton Elementary School got a big treat today. Not only did their regular Bright Spot Reading Buddy Owen come for reading time, but he brought along his big brother Finley.
The pair of Australian Cobberdogs (aka Australian Labradoodles) look like small, cuddly bear cubs – Finley a Brown Bear cub and Owen a Polar Bear cub.
Their teammate Bonnie read from two books she created about Finley and Owen, one titled Sweet Dreams, the other titled Owen. The books are full of great photos of the sweet, gentle dogs. The story, written by Bonnie, tells about the fun adventures Finley and Owen have together.
After the entire class listened to the stories, today’s readers had a chance to read Sweet Dreams and Owen aloud, one-on-one, to the dogs. Finley and Owen listened attentively.
