MANILA: Sharp barks and frenzied moves are the typical commotion at the Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) shelter’s quarantine section, where newly rescued cats and dogs are held for rehabilitation.

On Friday, however, a peculiar serenity pervaded the area where, seated on kiddie chairs in front of the kennels, volunteers read children’s books to dogs and cats as part of the shelter’s new Project CALM .The reading sessions are meant to slowly condition the ‘traumatised’ animals to the presence of people, and such interactions at this early stage of the project already show promising results, Cabrera said.

The animals were often rescued from cruel and neglectful owners against whom PAWS has filed criminal charges. — The Philippine Daily Inquirer/ANN
