Personal opinion:
Let me first of all say that I love to read these kind of books because I like to learn more about subjects like these. I applaud Leigh for writing her story down because it helps raise awareness. I thought it was a heart warming story and a very interesting read. I learned a lot through this book, especially about what it means to have the aid of a service dog. It was too bad though that Leigh didn't really explain what CP was, so I had to google it to get a better understanding of the disability. It is an easy read though with a lot of funny moments but also some very sad ones. I did like the first half of the book the best because there seemed to be happening more then in the middle part of the book. I would recommend this book to people who like to know more about service dogs or like pet stories in general. In both cases you won't be disappointed because next to being a service dog, Slugger has a mischievous side when he is not at work.
I Liked it!
