Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our life whole.

The goal of HPHP's R.E.A.D.® Program is to improve the literacy skills of children through the assistance of registered
Pet Partner therapy teams as literacy mentors. When a child's reading skills improve, so does their self esteem.

The Reading Education Assistance Dogs (R.E.A.D.®) program improves children reading and communication skills by employing a powerful method: reading to a dog. But not just any dog. R.E.A.D.® dogs are registered therapy animals who volunteer with their owner/handlers as a team, going to schools, libraries and many other settings as reading companions for children. Today, hundreds of registered R.E.A.D.® teams work throughout the United States and Canada, HPHP has several teams working with students at Scott Johnson Elementary in Huntsville, TX.
