Run by the Lutheran Church Charities, the comfort dog program is truly an example of the amazing ways a furry friend can bring happiness--or even just a smile--to people when they need it most. With real heart-warming stories and full-color photos of these lovable canines, this book is sure to appeal to dog lovers everywhere.

Comfort Dogs
Dog books are winners in any library. Though these new additions tread familiar ground—the unusual and helpful contributions that man’s best friend makes—animal lovers will “ooh” and “ahh” over these tales. R.E.A.D. Dogs (about canines who bolster struggling readers’ confidence by sitting with them) will be a particularly sure bet in most libraries. Serviceable options for pet and animal collections.
