I loved this book! I used to bring my dog to my classroom on high stakes testing days! What a huge impact.This story is great for animal lovers and people who work in any field that causes people to be anxious. The illustrations are perfect for this book.It also helps maintain the idea of the importance and virtuousness of dogs especially with children.I received an early and free copy of the book in return for my honest and unfettered review.
