Description
The Underdogs by Melissa Fay Greene This powerful and moving account tells the story of Karen Shirk, who was left with little hope after being diagnosed with a debilitating disease. Despite being rejected by every service dog agency in the country, she persevered and went on to raise her own service dog, Ben, which transformed her life. Karen's journey has inspired a new generation of people with disabilities, and her story is now being used to train thousands of state-of-the-art dogs at her academy, 4 Paws for Ability. This book weaves together Karen's remarkable story with the latest scientific discoveries about our co-evolution with dogs, creating a compassionate exploration of the profound impact that these animals can have on our lives. With characteristic insight and humanity, Melissa Fay Greene reveals the transformative power of unconditional love and the importance of attachment to dogs in restoring broken lives.
