[NAGDU] NEW PUPPY!

[Daryl Lang]

I completely agree. This book is awesome! Even the audio version from audible is terrific as well, because the author narrates it. :-) I have also met several people who have psychiatric service dogs, and I am still fascinated by their training. They have been very gracious in describing what the dogs do, and it's incredibly personalized.
