Franklin TV: Dog TV! Yes, there is one

by Pete Fasciano, Executive Director 11/16/2025

Srsly! It’s a streaming channel dedicated to producing programs about and for –

dogs.

https://www.dogtv.com/programs/

For me, some details about Dog TV are – fuzzy.

That said, they came to us for an assist. Magnolia Harter, age 13, is a Franklin resident. Sadly, a while back she lost her lovely dog Crosby to cancer. She wrote a book about it.

She’s raising money for cancer research by baking dog treats – Crosby’s Crunchies. That’s where we come in. We have a TV kitchen.

Magnolia (right) demonstrates how her crunchie doggie treats are blended and baked. Her dedicated dog posse showed up to help crank ‘em out.

And crank, they did. Productive bedlam. DogTV will release their movie in Spring.

Simple ingredients:

Oatmeal, bananas, peanut butter.

Blend, bake for 25 minutes.

As doggie treats go, they’re quite yummy.

And – as always –

Thank you for watching.
Thank you for listening to wfpr●fm.
And staying informed at Franklin●news.

We're Here to Help: Supporting Students with Learning Difficulties - Webinar, Weds, Nov 19

View in browser

Supporting Every Learner with TriTogether

Most students in TriTogether have an IEP (Individualized Education Plan)—a powerful tool that helps each individual learn and grow in the way that works best for them. At TriTogether, we believe education should be for everyone, and IEPs help make that vision a reality.

If you care for—or work with—a student in foster or kinship care who has an IEP or learning disability, and you're unsure how to best support them, we're here to help!

We've invited Elizabeth McWhorter, CEO and co-founder of ThriveIEP, to share practical strategies and insights on supporting students with learning challenges. Join us next Wednesday, November 19, at 7:30PM EST on Zoom, where Elizabeth will offer expert advice and answer your questions live.

This free virtual talk is open to everyone—even those outside of TriTogether! If you know someone who would benefit, please invite them to register separately and join us.

Additional Resources for Foster Families

Being part of a foster, kinship, or adoptive family is no small task. At TriTogether, we see the difference that extra support can have. Here are a few amazing organizations ready to step in to provide that support:

Foster Care Essentials is a Massachusetts-born-and-based nonprofit providing free essentials to foster or kinship care families—including clothing, toys, diapers, school supplies, and personal hygiene products.

Second Nurture partners with community-based organizations to create consistent support systems for foster and adoptive families. They host monthly group meetings with free on-site childcare and provide additional resources and services to help families succeed. Check out their website or contact their Boston cohort representative, Molly at molly@2nurture.org.

If you know a child with a birthday coming up, The Gifted Crate provides custom birthday boxes to Massachusetts youth involved with the Department of Children and Families (including those living in biological, kin, foster or congregate care).

We Can't Stop Growing!

We're celebrating an incredible year of growth! Check out our recent Instagram post highlighting how much our student referrals have increased over the past year—thanks to you.
