A community featuring uplifting and wholesome news stories that overlook deeply ingrained systemic problems.
The rules:
1. Your post must be an unironic presentation of a wholesome story, but one that overlooks systemic failures that made the story possible in the first place. In other words, we want posts that highlight "Yay, the problem is solved!", but ignore "Wait, why was this a problem in the first place?" at the same time.
2. Re-posts will be removed at mod discretion.
3. Sitewide rules apply. Basically, (a) don't be a dick; (b) use the NSFW tag; (c) no spam; (d) don't attack people; and (e) don't abuse the report button.

What's the Orphan Crushing Machine here? That stray dogs are being kept at a shelter instead of being out on the street? I know it sucks to realize, but the idea that every dog not having a loving nuclear family to take care of it is sort of a pipe dream. This seems like the best possible scenario all around. Even the shelter looks nice and clean.
While the kids were reading, somebody brutally murdered their parents and the next day they were sold into slavery.
IDK, I just wanted to post to this community for content.
You did achieve your one goal, so congrats on that. Well done I guess.
0 post count. Don’t criticize others, for that you choose not to do.
This is great until news of this leads to all of the dogs being adopted then the children have no one to read to so they get put in the shelter and the dogs have to be removed from their newfound loving homes to come back to the shelter to bark stories at the children in the cages.
I'd watch that reality series.
Mmm, yes. Dogs, famously known for loving being read to.
Dogs tend to just like being included in things.
I'm not arguing against that. Why do you assume I am? Because I'm saying we could do better?

Sorry, I'm not here to read you, but will block whatever bs you're trying to pull.
aww
They don't care about the content obviously, but they love when you just give them attention. You can see the dogs are very engaged with their child.
Plus, don't forget that the kids also get practice time reading, so it brutally slaughters 2 birds with 1 stone
My dog loves when people tell her stories! It's less about the content and more about the interaction. The book is totally for the child's benefit so they can learn to read.
This made me imagine a TV show where a kid reads to their dog but the dog understands and is imagining themselves as the book's main character and every week we get a new story starring the dog.
There’s also the bonus of showing kids that good dogs come from shelters and not just breeders, and definitely not from puppy mills. These kids will remember this when it’s time to get a dog.
Why can't the kids just read to each other if they feel alone. Stoopid.
