Elementary students enjoyed a visit from author and animal rescue advocate Heidi Mottin and her pit bull, Reed, on Thursday, April 12 during a special assembly. Mottin rescued Reed from a shelter four years ago and the two now work as a therapy dog team in area schools and hospitals. Mottin was inspired to write her first children’s book after witnessing how the story of Reed’s resilient journey from homeless dog to therapy dog resonated with all who met (and petted him).
The students listened intently as Mottin read her book, “Rescuing Reed: The Little Dog Who Could” and then gleefully surrounded Reed as each child was given an opportunity to pet the special guest. Mottin then autographed copies of her book and visited with students, telling them more about Reed and the process of pet adoption.
