Best Feel Good Book！！！I was fortunate enough to get a sneak peak at this book and what a privilege。 I laughed， I cried， again and again！ An inspiring collection of true stories about the love， hope and courage of these incredible families and their assistance dogs。 Maureen is not only an amazing writer， but a real life hero herself。 Taking a chance and living out the dream of helping others with her gift and love for these amazing dogs。 A truly inspirational book that I could not put down！

This book and all the pups and people included in it are simply amazing。A word of caution- make sure you have some tissues nearby。 Not because it’s sad， but because we simply don’t deserve dogs。At age 39， Mo decides to make a significant change in her life。 She decides to leave her well paying job in finance to start living her passion of working with dogs and training them to work with people with disabilities。 What happens after that is nothing short of amazing。 While she’s getting started， Mi This book and all the pups and people included in it are simply amazing。A word of caution- make sure you have some tissues nearby。 Not because it’s sad， but because we simply don’t deserve dogs。At age 39， Mo decides to make a significant change in her life。 She decides to leave her well paying job in finance to start living her passion of working with dogs and training them to work with people with disabilities。 What happens after that is nothing short of amazing。 While she’s getting started， Mimi makes a list of 10 rules for her service dog program， and over the years she manages to break each one of them， for all the best possible reasons。Each chapter of this book introduces us to a dog and the human（s） they are partnered with， the human whose life they will ultimately change for the better。I can’t say enough about this book and the program， do yourself a favor and get this book and donate to the program。 。。。more

I had the privilege of reading this early and was just so incredibly impressed by this book。 From Maureen's story of founding Assistance Dogs of Hawaii and the people she met along the way， to the individual stories of the graduate teams with their assistance dogs -- I honestly could not put this book down。 These were true stories of hope and perseverance。 I cried so much reading this， but the good kind of cry -- the stories were just so touching。 My heart sang， it ached， it sang again -- it was I had the privilege of reading this early and was just so incredibly impressed by this book。 From Maureen's story of founding Assistance Dogs of Hawaii and the people she met along the way， to the individual stories of the graduate teams with their assistance dogs -- I honestly could not put this book down。 These were true stories of hope and perseverance。 I cried so much reading this， but the good kind of cry -- the stories were just so touching。 My heart sang， it ached， it sang again -- it was all so beautiful。 I highly recommend this to anyone who likes feel-good books and also for anyone who loves dogs。 You forget how amazing these animals are！ The general format of this book， starting around ch 4， is each chapter highlights a different team， so it's easy to pick up and put down （although you won't want to stop！） and perfect for traveling or to bring places where you have short bursts of time to read。 I can't wait to tell all my friends about this book I've already ordered 2 more！ 。。。more
