Review:


Willow is a Therapy dog. She is a beautiful greyhound who can run really fast. Willow has a best friend named Megan. Her spcial skill is making people smile. Her job requires her to wear a special red vest so that all who see her know she is on the job. Willow belongs to a special team of therapy dogs who visit the sick in a hospital to help them feel better. She also visits schools, veterans and even libraries.

Beautiful photos show Willow and her friends in action. Bold printed words in easy to read sentences make this guide perfect for beginner readers. The back pages have information about the team and tips on how to be a good friend and neighbor. Parent and teachers can share this guide with kids and discuss why someone would need a therapy dog and kids can share stories about their pets too.
