JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Severe weather plagued Jacksonville throughout the day Tuesday.
While thunder, wind and rain are surely stressful for animals, the Jacksonville Humane Society had a plan to keep their residents calm.
Staff members worked as ‘Pawsitive Readers’ for the day, reading stories to the pets.
Jax Humane says a person reading out loud to an animal can lower their stress.
The Pawsitive Reader program is year-round at the Humane Society. Typically, they invite kids to read to the animals, but staff members were quick to fill in Tuesday.
