Next Door's Dog Is a Veteran's DogHardcover, 3 January 2022

Next Door's Dog is a Veteran's Dog is the fourth book about working dogs, written by Gina Dawson to educate children about the roles of Assistance and Therapy Dogs in modern society and the invaluable work they do. Veteran Joe and his family have moved in next door to Lucas. Dad and Joe are good mates who served in the military together. They both look well and healthy, but Joe is troubled by memories that make him anxious, angry, or sad. That's why he has Poppy, an Assistance Dog, who goes with him everywhere. When Lucas sees Joe getting off the bus with Poppy by his side, he wants to know more. He listens to Dad but doesn't really understand how Poppy helps Joe--until he sees it for himself.
