Wonder Dogs: True Stories of Extraordinary Assistance Dogs by Maureen Maurer
5.0
When you are having a rough (“ruff?”) day, these sweet stories will restore your faith in humanity and the universe.
What a sweet, heartwarming book, full of inspirational teams of assistance dogs and their trainers and working partners! I already love dogs, but this just makes me love them all the more for their kind and helpful spirit. And all the amazing things they can do!
This would be a great book for upper elementary kids as well as adult readers. It’s written in a simple, conversational style, and keeps a positive and empowering vibe, although readers likely will still experience some tears! (Happy and sad tears.)
The author is guided by her Christian faith, which feels fitting in her profession of helping others and not at all preachy or self-serving like some Christian books can come across, as if their faith is something to market and not a guiding force.
I also enjoyed learning more about Hawaiian culture. Now I have even more reasons to want visit! In the meantime, I will have to follow Assistance Dogs of Hawaii on social media!
