Meet Ollie our R.E.A.D. (Reading Education Assistance Dog)

The Zillah School Board approved Mrs. Gregory’s proposal to use a dog in the classroom as a reading incentive. Oliver, her yellow Labrador retriever, was granted permission to visit her classroom to listen to students read. Ollie will be visiting the room 1-2 times a month for the remainder of the school year.

Mrs. Gregory previously had a dog in the classroom from 2003-2014. The program was a huge success!

Oliver has completed a vast amount of training and temperament testing. He is a certified Love on a Leash Therapy dog. He has already volunteered in several senior living facilities throughout the Yakima Area. He loves working and bringing a smile to others. Welcome to Hilton Ollie!
