Tuesday Takes Me There: The Healing Journey of a Veteran and His Service Dog

By Luis Carlos Montalván

Book Overview

From New York's Staten Island Ferry to a double-decker bus in Washington, DC, a delightful service dog, named Tuesday, narrates this journey -- with his disabled veteran partner -- to a very special place. Tuesday and Luis, an Iraq War veteran, must travel by boat, bus, train, horse, pedicab and more as they race from New York City to the countryside outside the nation's capitol for an important event. Along the way, they see many famous sites, share hilarious and touching adventures, and show young readers (along with their teachers and parents) how trained service dogs help people with disabilities. Full of photos of this lovable Golden Retriever and his best friend, Tuesday Takes Me There continues the true story of a wounded veteran and the dog that saved him.
