On the second Saturday of each month this summer, Madison, a four-year-old Golden Retriever and certified therapy dog with Pet Partners, will be at Falling Rock Cafe & Bookstore in Munising, Mich. The "Reading with Madison" event offers children a chance to read to the dog and enjoy a free ice cream cone afterward.
The bookstore noted that Madison "has been visiting the GetAway Drop in Center, MediLodge and continuing the Reading Program at William G. Mather, which was established in 2013. Her handler, Keena Jones, has been active in the Munising community with her Great Danes: Bella, Zoey and now Madison volunteering with Pet Partners and HOPE Animal-Assisted Crisis Response." Jones has been coming to the Falling Rock Cafe and Bookstore since 2013 with her dogs.
