Good dog book submitted by amym on August 15, 2022, 10:06pm This is a memoir by a dog trainer who decides to find a rescue dog to train a psychiatric service dog. It's full of stories of people who have benefited from a psych dog and stories of the author's dogs. She explains how she trains the dog and what she looks for in a dog to become a service dog. It's full of information and none of the main dogs die. A few of her dogs die, but she doesn't go into details.
