Eddie loves to listen to kids read! He is a five-year-old wire haired dachshund, who listens to Lakewood Park Elementary students from kindergarten to fifth grade read their favorite books aloud.

Eddie's favorite book is Before You Were Mine, and his favorite TV show is Groomer Has It on Animal Planet.

Eddie has a brother named Gus and a sister named Cracker, who he loves to play tug-o-war with. He enjoys kayaking on the Indian River Lagoon (when it's not too hot), going for long walks (also when it's not too hot), and eating (anything).

Recently, Eddie has mastered a couple of tricks, like "roll over" and "shake hands". He is also learning to army crawl, speak, spin, and bow on command. His best trick, however, is patiently listening to kids read.

Eddie has mastered this trick - piling up toys and taking a nap on them!
