[NAGDU] NEW PUPPY!

[The Pawpower Pack]

For those interested in the tasks of psychiatric service dogs, you might want to read a really good book I just finished. It is called: the possibility dogs. It is by Susannah Charlson. It is available on Bookshare. I am not sure if it is available on bard. It was a really great book and I came away with a really strong appreciation for the task the dogs do.
