Bruiser, a French mastiff, loves to listen to a good book, maybe even more than getting a good belly rub!  This trained therapy dog visits the Puyallup Library on a regular basis and provides kids with a no-pressure situation to practice their reading skills.  Plus, who doesn't love curling up with a good book and a sweet dog who loves to listen?  And don't worry if you make a mistake or say a word wrong, this dog is just happy to see you. No registration required.
