This book is filled with awesome, jaw dropping and heartwarming stories of how these animals are so greatly benefitting us humans through not only friendship and companionship, but also as "therapy and service" animals. You will meet "Dare", a two-legged dog (both legs are on one side) who visits hospital amputation wings. To observe patients who are debating whether or not to have an amputation and continue living versus dying, to see their respect and amazement for this little brave dog aid them in making the decision for life is simply inspirational. Or, you'll learn about a dog named "Chaco" who has the ability to predict when a seizure is about to happen and prevent his owner from getting into and driving a car. Or, Koko the gorilla who can communicate over 1,000 words in sign language ... a pet chicken who rides on a motorcycle and many, many more.
