I have been a physician for twelve years, but never knew how beneficial a service dog could be for a patient with limited mobility. This book vividly describes the real life obstacles a person encounters when she has a disability, and should be required reading for all pre-meds.
The Dilemna of Training Your Own Service Dog
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
When I saw this book I was trying to decide whether to train my own service dog or remain on a service dog provider's long list. After reading JOEY MOSES, I was encouraged and informed about the challenges and the hope that lied ahead. While I cannot claim that the mixed breed I rescued and trained to become my service dog will EVER win a national honor such as Joey did, I love my service dog partner and am grateful there was a book available like Susan's to encourage me along. An informative read about what these great dogs do for individuals with disabilites as well.
A highly enjoyable book.

Joey Moses is a well-written account of a stray-turned-working-dog. Although aimed at a younger audience, it is enjoyable for people of all ages, dog lovers or not. Ms. Duncan's style of writing engages the reader immediatley and will not let go until the end of the book. The story is part adventure, part success, and all highly entertaining. It shows how persistance, love, and hard work can really pay off in the end. Joey Moses is an inspirational story that I would reccomend to anyone who likes to read.

not only was joey moses a shelter dog, he was one in a million. at least after susan duncan came along. she came looking for a new service dog, her previous one having died recently. her first thought was that she was too distraught to even consider a new dog now, but when she and joey met, it was love at first sight. for both. susan, who works for the delta society®, and knows all there is to know about service dogs, writes from personal, as well as professional, experience. a book not to be missed.
