A Furry Friend and a Good Book

Setauket Elementary School in the Three Village School District has a very special visitor every Monday at 11:00 am: Charlotte, a Brussells Griffon who was adopted four years ago by Arlene Leone, Special Program Manager at Little Shelter. Charlotte was a “throw away,” an unwanted dog, and when Arlene saw her, she knew she could provide a permanent home for her.

Since 1927, the not-for-profit Little Shelter of Huntington has been the oldest no-kill shelter on Long Island. The staff and volunteers have worked tirelessly to save the lives of companion animals like Charlotte whose lives are in jeopardy. The shelter operates on donations and has established the Little Shelter Humane Education Program, of which Charlotte takes part, as a way of giving back to the community.

Charlotte is one of four reading dogs in the program. She has undergone weeks of training and is now able to visit schools like Setauket to work with students who need the additional support and confidence in their oral reading ability. Charlotte visits with six students on a weekly basis. The children take turns reading books to her and learn to interact with her as well as the other children in the group.

This is the first year of the program at Setauket, and the changes in the students who have taken part have been positive. “The children are reading with much greater confidence,” said Leone. “It’s beautiful to see.”
