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.

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
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.
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.
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.
Isn't that Wishbone?
Yeah, that's just Wishbone.
checking Netflix for wishbone
Wow it is! I've never heard of that, I gotta check it out.
There are better interactions for a dog. For their sake, at least, if that's a priority here at all. The kids will learn to read regardless.
Someone: does something good.
Always that one person: but why not do another good thing instead?
You really came here to turn someone's opinion into a problem, didn't you.
If "we can do better" is problematic for you, then you're the one with the issue and not the people pointing things out.
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
Heyhey, we don't say that here. We say crushes two orphans with one machine!
Ya, practice with a non-judgemental listener that's really cute even
Yeah, I just have the idea that they prefer a ball to a book.
Probably true but I'm still happy that someone spends some time with them. Perhaps they get to play with the kids as well
I hope so.
