Studies show that petting/interacting with dogs can help decrease anxiety, lower blood pressure, and increase serotonin levels in the brain! Benefitting both the children and adults that we get to meet during these activities!
Children that struggle to read aloud to adults or peers are often more relaxed and show better reading skills when reading to a dog. And the dogs love getting the extra attention and love!
