abuse
It had a much sadder tone than I was expecting - I had to skip a chapter that was too triggering about pet loss. The subtitle was also misleading in that this wasn’t really a book about training shelter dogs for service - I think only 1 or 2 of the dogs came from shelters?
But informative read re the tasks psych service dogs can assist with! Author is a pilot and search and rescue dog handler as well.
