A boy and his dog, girls and their horses - the clichés click because they're so often true. But some children do more than play with their pets and some animals do more than fetch and purr. There's the rabbit who helps a foster boy sleep through the night and the Dalmatian whose fire safety lesson saved the lives of a five-year-old and her father. There are the stories of Maya, the rescue dog, who points an autistic, Down's syndrome girl to the school bus each morning, and the dachshund with "wheel legs" who helps a boy in leg braces hope again. These children and animals love unconditionally and through that love, the condition of each is transformed. This book is for animal lovers of all ages - and for anyone who wants to smile or needs to heal.
