Get to know Buddha the therapy dog, a sweet 4-year-old Rottweiler! Young readers (siblings and parents are welcome to join) are invited to spend 10 minutes reading aloud to Buddha. Learn more about the benefits of reading to a dog here. 

Registration is not required. 10 minute timeslots with a dog will be assigned on a first come first served basis. Sign up for timeslots will begin at the children's desk around 3:00 PM.  We will try to accommodate as many children as we can without overwhelming Buddha!

Buddha is part of the Therapy Dogs International Program and has been certified since March 2020. His handler and owner Lori Ann Lodato is a lifelong Woburn resident and a TDI volunteer. Together they compete in AKC Obedience and AKC Rally competitions.
