Customer Reviews

Wonderful book!

Any dog lover would enjoy this book. It was well-written and you could feel the joy as well as sorrow at certain parts of this story. I loved reading it, it's such a great book. I also learned quite a few things about dog training (for helper dogs).

Grrrreat Book

I think that this book is wonderful it is happy and sad at times I would reccomend it to any dog lover. In a nutshell it is basicalyy about a girl and her mother who decide to raise a puppy for a year and then give it to someone with a disabilty Overall a very heartwarming story.

Nice portrayal of puppy raising

This is a great book for children who are interested in dogs, and is perfect for anyone who wants to know what puppy raising is like. The story follows a golden retriever from puppy to adult, and also shows the work, joy, and sorrow involved in raising a puppy to be an assistance dog.

Geat novel for kids about a dog raised to help people

Anyone crazy about dogs will love this book! It's about a girl and her mom raising a puppy that one day will help someone in a wheelchair. It's great to find a book with real people with real emotions. And lots of drama as the girl isn't sure she wants to give up the dog when the time comes.
