New Lives: Stories of Rescued Dogs Helping, Healing and Giving Hope is a great new book that celebrates rescue dogs.

At first it is better to give the dog some distance to slowly get familiar with the new situation and let him get to know the house or apartment on his own. Remember that almost everything in your home are completely new to the dog.

This is a great story about how a therapy dog helped a boy overcome depression. Dogs, as well as other pets, have been shown to improve quality of life. My yellow lab, Alex, a certified therapy dog, tugged at her leash and trotted down the elementary school hallway, eager to get to the kids we’d been visiting the past couple months.
