Sting "works" at a library in Minnesota. When the dog's owner John Muller saw how his pet was sad, because no one came to him during the entire shift, he decided to turn to the help of social networks. John posted a post on Facebook with an offer to read aloud to Sting.
The sad look of Sting and the power of Facebook did their job. John's record was reposted a hundred thousand times, and Sting became an Internet star. Applications to read aloud to the dog poured into the library. Now he is "booked" for several months ahead, he will definitely not have time to be sad.
The library received calls from all over the country.
The Paws to Read program, of which Sting is a participant, is designed to increase the literacy of young readers.
And the library staff themselves really like that four-legged therapists come to work for them.
Sting is a real hard worker. In addition to the library, he also works at a children's hospital and a nursing home.
