Jackson is a giant sucker for a frisbee. Or, rather, whoever is throwing it for him is the sucker. He is tireless and determined and SO very focused on the task at hand. It is incredibly fun to watch him play!

And, ladies…when this handsome bachelor is not retrieving colorful objects and keeping in shape by swimming 3,000 laps he works with children. Lemme hear it… “Awwww”
Jackson is an official R.E.A.D. Dog. The R.E.A.D Program promotes communication and improves reading skills in children by having them read to dogs. How cool is that? Reading aloud can be nerve-wracking and what better way to gain confidence and hone your skills than to practice with someone who offers no judgement and lots of love?

Maggie is also a big player in the community service world. She, too, is a registered R.E.A.D Dog and makes many visits to area hospitals, special needs centers, schools and nursing homes. She loves a good game of frisbee (of course) and if you promise not to say anything I’ll tell you a secret…

Come closer… Maggie has three legs but DO NOT say anything because she DOES NOT KNOW and there’s no use in pointing it out because she wouldn’t care anyway. She’s just as fast as her siblings (and there’s 5 including Jackson) and she grabs that frisbee with the speed of a torpedo.
She also looks dazzling in her blue towel- I mean- her majesty’s robe. Yes.
These guys just rocked this session and it is a complete fun fest working with them. Both are members of Therapy Dogs Inc. and are stellar citizens of the community if I do say so myself!

oops, sorry! i meant maggie, not molly. i just met a brother and sister pair last week named jackson + molly so that’s why i goofed. :p
These two are both gorgeous! And I love that they let kids read to them… just last night I decided to read part of my book out loud. Apple jumped off the bed and ran out of the room! Guess she wouldn’t be a good R.E.A.D. candidate! lol!
I love Jackson’s “look” that he’s giving in the frisbee shot!
Maggie is hilarious in the towel!! : )
