Meet Jalapeña
Jalapeña -- known to her friends around the fire hydrant as "Jalee" (pronounced Hay-Lee) -- is an affectionate, outgoing Golden Retriever and trained therapy dog. Like her mother, Jalee understands its not enough to live in the community; you have to be part of it too. She spends her time visiting and cheering up the elderly and helping young children learn to read by encouraging them to read aloud to her -- helping them improve their confidence in their reading skills.
