    Last November the two groups started "Dog Day Afternoon" in the children’s department of the main library. About 25 children attended each of the four Saturday-afternoon classes, reading for half an hour. Those who attended three of the four classes received a "pawgraphed" book at the last class.
    The program was so successful that the library plans to repeat it in April, according to Dana Thumpowsky, public relations manager. [br] Specialists use dogs to listen to children reading because they think______.
