He is so special he has a reading program named after him called, "Pages for Preston." His mom, Julie Hauck is a third grade teacher at Longfellow Elementary school. Each week Preston rides with Julie to school and it is Preston's special day with all the children in her classroom.
So imagine how honored I was when Preston's mom applied for a grant through Thrivent Financial and received money to purchase my books for each student in her class! Now they read my books to my friend Preston... and he is such a good friend, he never tires of hearing my stories.
Preston and his mom sent us these very special pictures and I just had to share with you! I am so proud of all of Ms. Hauck's students and Preston! Always be positive, make a difference, and keep on rolling (and reading!)

Great job Preston! This is exactly what I want to do with my dog Stetson. We passed our Canine Good Citizen test a while back and we are now looking to get certified for therapy work through Therapy Dogs International.
We're hoping to join a local therapy dog group that already has a similar reading program called BARK. Hopefully we'll be able to volunteer with schools and reading programs just like Preston in the near future.
Congratulations Stetson for passing your CGC! And how wonderful you want to help kids with their reading. Keep us posted!
Arf!
