A fun read and good resource

I often use this book in my animal assisted therapy work with at-risk children- it has been a wonderful tool and has made many children smile as well! A very happy book - with the ability to make a lasting impact when incorporated in therapeutic work. Kate Nicoll, MSW, author of Soul Friends

I agree...worth it for the pictures alone!

I received this as a gift for Christmas, and not a day has gone by that I haven't picked it up just to look at all those smiling doggie faces. What a joy, and a real spirit lifter. As for my dog, all I have to do is giggle and she gets the BIGGEST grin on her face. There's nothing like a happy, smiling dog.
