Hi everyone! Today I am teaming up with Canucks Place Children's Hospice to introduce the picture book. The Dog, inspired by their very own therapy dog, Poppy! It's an adorable book and I just have to share a few pages from it!

24 pages
Goodreads Summary:
A testament to the comforting power of an animal's love.
The uncomplicated love and dedication of a dog can make anyone feel better- particularly a child who is small and vulnerable. Through beautiful, simple illustrations and words, The Dog shows how one animal helps a young boy who is ill. She is his comfort, his companion, and his friend; when he's unhappy, she places her paw on his hand to show him she's there.
The Dog is a story for young children, and for anyone who has ever owned a pet. But most of all, it shows how important animal companionship is for children. The warmth of animal friends helps make life worth living, especially when times are tough.
