Review: This book is a really beautiful story of the training, work and rewards of a visiting dog. Rosie is a black and white fluffy dog who is trained to be a friend-in-need to people who are ill or institutionalized. Wonderful text and art-quality photographs. Appeals to kids (even 12 year old boys!) and adults. Shows kindness and love in a true story. Highly recommended!
