Helping Dogs

Helping dogs help us do many things that we might need assistance with, including opening doors, turning lights on and off, and pushing wheelchairs. They visit hospitals, guide the blind, and give comfort. Readers will learn the difference between service dogs and therapy dogs, exploring the ways each is trained and the work they do. Detailed photographs show the many breeds of helping dogs that make life easier for people in need.

There is enough information to make the texts feel fresh, and different further-reading resources are suggested in each book...A solid choice for readers looking for more than cute pictures."-School Library Journal
