The Van Zandt County Library played host to three canines, Clyde, Piper and Mercy Me, as well as handlers Carol King Woods and Regena Bell, for their weekly Therapy Dog Team Bringing Miles of Smiles event July 21. In addition to the four-legged visitors, the library was gifted three books by Texas Humane Legislative Network Ambassador Kathy Stonaker: The Forgotten Rabbit, Buddy Unchained and Call the Horse Lucky. The books are part of a library that THN has put together to teach young children how to treat animals and if they see an animal being abused how to relay that to an adult. Additional photos on 9A.
