Join us for a fun storytime with local author and VT Department of Education professor Gary Skaggs as he tells us Bosco’s story!

Bosco D. Beagle is a dog living in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Bosco loves playing with the neighborhood children. One day, he loses a leg in an accident. Even though he feels the same inside, the children won’t play with him anymore because he looks different now. That makes Bosco sad. He misses his friends. One night, during a terrible thunderstorm, one of the children, Pepe, becomes lost. The neighbors search in vain, but Bosco tracks Pepe into the woods. Bosco finds Pepe and leads him home. When the other children find out that Bosco saved Pepe, they realize that Bosco is still their brave friend. Even though someone may look different, they deserve to be treated the same as everyone else and valued for who they are.
