Emilia Clarke and her dog are the latest celebs to take part in the “Save with Stories” campaign.
The “Game of Thrones” star took to Instagram Live where she tried to read “Bear’s Loose Tooth” by Karma Wilson and Jane Chapman but her puppy, Ted, was more occupied on licking Clarke’s face.

Once things calmed down, Clarke was able to read the four-minute story to help entertain children at home during self-isolation and raise money for the Save With Stories Fund organized by No Kid Hungry and Save the Children.
“THIRTY MILLION CHILDREN rely on school for food. Responding to the needs of kids during these school closures, @savethechildren and @nokidhungry have a new fund @SAVEWITHSTORIES to support food banks, and mobile meal trucks, and community feeding programs with funds to do what they do best—and also—with educational toys, books, and worksheets to make sure brains are full, as well as bellies,” Clarke wrote next to her video.
She then asked fans to help out with a $10 donation by texting SAVE to 20222.
Other celebs that have helped out have included Chris Evans and Chris Pratt.
Questions about COVID-19? Here are some things you need to know:
Health officials caution against all international travel. Returning travellers are asked to self-isolate for 14 days in case they develop symptoms and to prevent spreading the virus to others.
Symptoms can include fever, cough and difficulty breathing — very similar to a cold or flu. Some people can develop a more severe illness. People most at risk of this include older adults and people with severe chronic medical conditions like heart, lung or kidney disease. If you develop symptoms, contact public health authorities.
To prevent the virus from spreading, experts recommend frequent handwashing and coughing into your sleeve. They also recommend minimizing contact with others, staying home as much as possible and maintaining a distance of two metres from other people if you go out.
