Lovely review. Animal lovers would sure love this book, and I could use it when I need a feel-good read. Thanks for the review.

Dogs are my favorite thing. I already anticipate laughing and crying throughout the book. I cannot wait to read this.

It is amazing to see a book on the subject of therapy dogs. I think that I would melt while reading this book because Pogo sounds lovely.

The author adopted a lovely puppy and molded her into the charismatic dog she became. In this book, she narrates Pogo's journey, reminiscing on the memories they made and the people whose lives she impacted.

What a therapeutic dog! I would love to know how Pogo helps in healing the people who are sick. Linda also has a responsibility to take care of Pogo, which is making sure the dog gets the basic needs for it to perform its duties.

I'm personally a cat lover but I do understand the usefulness of dogs. And in some cases owning a dog is probably more beneficial than owning a cat. The book sounds interesting and exciting and the word "rogue" Therapy Dog promises lots of adventures and funny moments. Thanks for making the book free and congratulations in becoming BOTD!

This story seems a little too happy for me, so I'll have to pass on this one. I prefer stories that are full of crime and murder. I would recommend this story to my 2nd graders, though. They are obsessed with animals right now.

Dogs are known for their loyalty and therapy dog is amazing. I really impressed with the author ( Linda Lutes) and his way of presentation. I have a dog named TIGER and I really attach this story with my life. Thanks a lot for free book.

Dogs are beautiful creatures as is all things that were created. One thing with dogs is that they express emotions and that is why their relationship with man is like no other. This is really a heart warming book with humour in it, pogo a party animal, what are the odds. Thanks for this beautiful review, I can tell you genuinely enjoyed it.

A close friend has a therapy dog in the family. It truly is a very unique relationship that develops when a dog is in service. Thank you for the beautiful review of this uplifting and interesting book.

Therapy dogs are great companions and I'm glad the author managed to describe Pogo's adventures with both humor and sensibility. The poems also add an interesting touch to the story. However, I expect more originality and elaboration when I decide to read a book. Thanks for your review!

Well, the review describes the kind of quality the book has. It is quite interesting to note how intelligent animals are. Most importantly, the fact that one can look at the birds for accurate weather predictions.
As for this review, my interest is already aroused.

A therapy dog then turns up to be of great help to a sick person.
