altairanorthe: skinnyghost: I’m not a big feel-good-story kind of guy but this is cute.   “It helps with their self-esteem in reading out loud because he is non-judgmental,” says the dog’s owner, Tony Nevett, who has a degree in animal-assisted therapy. “He doesn’t judge them and he doesn’t laugh at them. He’s just a tool – the children don’t realise they are reading, which they might not have the confidence to do in class.” Some children even show Danny the pictures as they read. Cuuuuute. An episode of the moth recently had a story from a biologist who had a horrible stutter as a child. He could only talk to animals until he was well into his 20s, because they didn’t make him nervous like humans did.
