"In a world where the demand for assistance dogs is on the rise to overcome the challenges of various disabilities, it is crucial to recognize that these remarkable companions are not a universal solution.

It is a journey that requires careful consideration, understanding, and commitment. In this book, you will find a valuable resource for anyone seeking the benefits of an assistance dog. Within the pages, you will learn the roadmap to empowerment, for you and your companion." -- Amazon.com
