What's up dog?
Sionnach is my library assistant at the school where I work. She is much loved by the children who visit the library with their classes, or during lunchtime. They love to play ball with her or snuggle up on the sofa with her to read her a story. There are certain children with whom she has a really strong connection and often they are the children who feel a bit lonely at lunchtimes. So it makes them happy to have a doggy companion while reading.
