Out of the Box
| | |
Out of the Box is a place where library activities and programs are shared. This month features a very special pet.
"Thought I'd give a shout out about Tucker. Tucker has been volunteering here at St. Pete Beach since summer 2006. He is a large Welsh Springer Spaniel and the gentlest dog ever. Tucker is a trained Therapy Dog from Therapy Dogs International. He began life as a show dog and is quite the champion in that endeavor as well! When he was about to turn 10 he fathered 5 sons and all came to programs with him that summer! Tucker has just had his 13th birthday -June 22 - and is now visiting the library once a week year-round!"
