| Reviewer: Shelia |
| This book is very well written and easy to read. I have mine highlighted and marked all over with great quotes and things I want to remember. I thought it gave a clear picture of the positives and negatives of having a service dog for a child and the pictures are just TO DIE FOR. Don't tell anyone, but I read the first chapter and then the last chapter. That really set the tone of the entire book for me. It should be required reading if you are going to train a dog for a child with a disability. |
