For #FabulousFriday, meet Stella, a sweet Australian Labradoodle who lives and R.E.A.D.s in Victoria, BC, Canada! Stella's human tells us that this is how Stell...a greets all of her clients; she gives them a friendly wave and then invites them to pet her. Stella and her human are members of R.E.A.D. partner group Pacific Animal Therapy Society - PATS. Wishing everyone a safe and peaceful weekend (with many waves to friends and strangers alike)!
