Disabled Dogs

Disabled Dogs

Picture Book
Some dogs are born with disabilities. Others acquire them
through accidents. Sorta like people, right? The canines, however,
face an additional heart breaking challenge. Too many of them are
euthanized. In a society where we can get designer doggies and where
sentient beings are often seen as possessions, it's often assumed they
are unwantable.
A lot of times this is very much untrue. Adaptations can help
disabled dogs lead happy, healthy lives and contribute to the well
being and happiness of people. That's the empowering message of Meish
Goldish's Disabled Dogs. In its pages you'll meet canines with great
heart and spirit like:
*Faith who learned to walk on her only two legs and was made honorary
Army Sargent for inspiring disabled war veterans,
*Echo who can navigate his home and play hide-and-seek despite being
blind,
*Angelyne who flunked obediance school because she was deaf and was
able to then learn over 40 hand signals and even do tricks,
*Chili and Arlo who, equipped with their own little wheel
contraptions, inspire patients in rehab...
This is a beautiful book to share with children with a really
powerful message. I highly recommend it.
