Pet Project at Texarkana Public Library

Five-year-old Destiny Vincent, left, shows a book to therapy dog Duke, held by his owner John Whittemore, Tuesday at Texarkana Public Library. Duke has temporarily taken over as the therapy dog for the library's Pages with Poochie program, which encourages children to read by providing a friendly dog to be their audience. The program's previous dog, Sketti, recently retired because of health problems. The library is seeking a permanent replacement. For information, call the library at 903-794-2149.
