Reading an inspiring book is a great way to end your Summer 2010.
The publisher of “A Dog Named Slugger” sent us a copy of the book.
It’s very uplifting true story. Finest example of the difference a service dog can provide to a disabled person.

It’s very uplifting true story. Finest example of the difference a service dog can provide to a disabled person.
The book is written by Leigh Brill.
Since childhood, Leigh suffers from cerebral palsy.
She longed to play with other kids but her disabilities shattered her wish. Leigh also discovered how other kids can be so cruel to those who are “different.” While she was in college, she learned and contacted an organization that provided mobility assistance dogs to people who needed assistance with the very simple tasks of day-to-day living.

Leigh also discovered how other kids can be so cruel to those who are “different.” While she was in college, she learned and contacted an organization that provided mobility assistance dogs to people who needed assistance with the very simple tasks of day-to-day living.
Leigh was paired with Slugger, a yellow Lab Retriever.
They had a joyful partnership full of love and true friendship.
Slugger ultimately transformed and changed Leigh’s life.
A great book for dog lovers and for those who were touched by a service dog. It shows how vital a service dog plays in the lives of a disabled person. A service dog genuinely provides a whole new world of opportunities and offers lots of possibilities.
