He's so cute. There's a program in Baltimore called "Karma Dogs" where dogs (pre-screened for temperament) visit local libraries so the kids can read to them. The kids also take the oath of kindness to animals. Kids really respond to the dogs. Wonderful program.

Bo's presence, so cutely perched on Michelle's lap, is an extra special treat for the kids. Love it!
