The Possibility Dogs by Susannah Charleson 483 pages


Susannah Charleson is passionate about her dogs!  Her previous book, "The Scent of the Missing", was all about Search and Rescue dogs.  This one is about service dogs.  Particularly, rescued dogs who become outstanding service dogs.  Featured in this book is Jake Piper, pictured on the cover.  Jakey was left abandoned in a shed and was nearly starved to death when Susannah came into his life.  This becomes a case of who rescues whom when Susannah experiences more and more OCD episodes and trouble with her failing kidneys.  She delves quite deeply into psych disabilities and the discriminations they face, especially when they try to enter a public place with their service dog.  Their disability is not evident and their dogs are often not welcome. 

Beware when reading this book.  The author's enthusiasm is contagious!
