Frankie Helps Two Young Girls Overcome Fear of Dogs

Frankie and I are back at the Farmer’s Market again this summer in our quaint little village of Elkhart Lake.  We have a table set up displaying our books- happy to talk with others and share our passion about animals with disabilities.

Last week Saturday at our first market of the season a woman named Kristi shared with with me that her niece’s Kayle, 3 at the time and Molly, 5 at the time, met Frankie two summers ago.  At the time they were deathly afraid of dogs.  She told me how she bought Frankie’s book for them and that she had the cutest picture of Kayle looking at Frankie’s book while going through the market.  Kristi was kind enough to share the photo and I share it with you here.  I think it is absolutely priceless.  And the best part? Kayle and Molly are no longer afraid of dogs after meeting Frankie.

 

Who Dosen’t Love a Parade… with Frankie the Walk ‘N Roll Dog?

Yesterday I posted video coverage of our morning spent at Longfellow school and being in the school parade with Mrs. Hauck’s 3rd grade class.  Each class marched through the school for all the kids and staff to see what they learned this year– Mrs. Hauck’s class chose Frankie as their theme and the lesson they learned.  Here are photos from the event- despite a rainy day, it was all smiles and sunshine in the halls of Longfellow school!

Before the parade the little girl in this photo put her arm around me and thanked me for bringing Frankie to school to be in their parade.  My heart melted.

Introduction video of our special morning at Longfellow School with 3rd grade students and their teacher Mrs. Julie Hauck.  Tomorrow I'll share photos of the morning, so be sure to check back.

Mrs. Hauck's 3rd grade students share what they learned from Frankie this past year.  Some kids are quite quiet, but hang in there for some great responses!

Lining up for the parade!
