Rocco Is A Good Listener

Rocco the therapy pitt (left) has done most of his therapy work with the Pets on Wheels program. Because he is a very mellow, sweet dog, he is great at reading with children in libraries. Certain children have asked specifically to read with Rocco because he is such an excellent listener. He has even had several children who were fearful of dogs work on their reading with him because of his calm manner. 

Recently, Rocco has experienced some breed discrimination despite his excellent therapy work. It’s not easy being a pitt! Read more of Rocco’s story on Stubby Dog, a nonprofit website focused on changing public perceptions of pitbulls.
