Welcome to Hero Dogs
Did you know that there are many different types of hero dogs? Dogs are versatile (that means they can do a lot of different things). Rescue dogs can help find people who are in trouble. Guide dogs can help people get around obstacles. Therapy dogs can help people who need support in a lot of different ways. There are so many ways a dog can help people.
Our friend and Tail Waggin' Tutor, Finn, is a therapy dog. Finn is a four-year-old yellow lab who came to his family from Southeastern Guide Dogs in Brandenton, Florida. He is certified by Therapy Dogs International (TDI). He is a happy and well-adjusted dog who is eager to make everyone feel comfortable and relaxed. Finn's favorite activities include snuggling, kissing, and listening to stories. As the mascot for Imagination Ashe, Finn visits the library to help young readers feel more relaxed and comforted.
Finn and his reading partner Fran will be holding an online event, Storytime with Finn, on Wednesday, September 30th at 11 am.
