A dachshund loses a leg and finds his life's calling--as a therapy
dog!
Scrappy dachshund Rolf von Noodle may be missing a hind leg, but he's
got attitude and can-do spirit to spare! If anything, his tripod status
gives him something special: real empathy for people overcoming physical
challenges. And as his owner Mindy discovers, it makes him an ideal
choice to become a therapy dog. With realistic black-and-white
illustrations and an appendix that includes photographs and information
about the American Kennel Club's Canine Good Citizen program, therapy
dog training, tripod dogs, and more, this is the kind of fact-based
fiction reluctant middle grade readers sit up and beg for!
