There's going to be a spcaLA event in Redondo Beach on Saturday. Here are the details from their Web site:

Bring the kids and spend the afternoon with spcaLA, PAWS to Read, and the Redondo Beach Library.  Join us as we team up with the upcoming movie, "Hotel For Dogs" and aaadogreading.jpgFox 11 newscaster, Mark Thompson, to champion children's literacy. 

Through PAWS to Read, children practice their skills by reading to a therapy dog in 15-minute sessions.  By reading aloud to an attentive and uncritical audience, children gain confidence while strengthening the human-animal bond.  PAWS to Read utilizes certified spcaLA Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) dogs who have been trained and tested for health, saftey, and temperament.  

Fox 11 newscaster Mark Thompson will be on hand to read from the popular children's book, "Hotel For Dogs," written by Erica David.  Free bookmarks, sticker sheets and movie posters will be available while supplies last.  A drawing will be held to win copies of the book, "Hotel For Dogs."

About the Bloggers

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.

Josh Grossberg grew up with the usual array of animals: goldfish, dogs, hamsters, parakeets and turtles. He now owns the loudest dog in the South Bay(Video: Rocket the Dog) and is the least popular person on his block. He spends his free time in dog parks, pet shops and always has an extra plastic bag in his pocket just in case. He also has a cat.
