Restorative Reading and Writing for Wellness

E121: Furry Reading Buddies & Books with Dr. Barb Vokatis


Listen Later

We’ve talked about a lot of things in the over 100 episodes we’ve shared together from why we read and titles we might love to how to read best and how to use reading to make life better. 


But today, we are talking about something I’ve only recently been exploring: the power of reading with furry, four-legged friends. 


Dr. Barb Vokatis, a reading therapy dog handler, is here to explore this idea with me and I’ll share three books with dogs as important main characters that I think you should add to your TBR stack, too. 


You’ll find the show notes for the episode with links to all of the books and resources mentioned right here.
