Paws and Pages changes the audience for a reading-aloud session: instead of reading to an adult, children read to a therapy dog. Dallas Public Library presents the format as a way to practice without the listener interrupting or correcting mistakes.
The library lists the program for School Age children, ages 6–12, but its description names several reasons a child might enjoy it: they may be an early reader, learning English, anxious about reading aloud or simply fond of dogs. The activity is not framed only for children who are struggling.
Teens and adults are also mentioned as people who may benefit, although the formal age-group label remains ages 6–12. That distinction may help families decide whether the session fits their reader.
