with an intelligent dog!

Through this heart-warming
tribute to an extraordinary therapy dog, McFadden skillfully touches
our emotions. We share her laughter and feel her grief as she takes us

Everyone can relate to the life lessons taught by McDuff, the
extraordinary Scottish terrier therapy dog, in Life with McDuff:
Lessons Learned from a Therapy Dog. Whether Christian, Jew,
Buddhist, Shintoist, any other religion, or no religion at all, people
of all races and cultures can learn something from McDuff about life
and living.
McDuff taught unconditional love,
forgiveness, looking beyond appearances, nonresistance, and being of
service to others. And, he didn’t stop – even after death.
•
Five young adults with severe mental and physical disabilities in
Opportunity Village Project PRIDE responded to McDuff in
astounding ways.
• Steven, a fifth grader with crippling
reading difficulties went from a D
average to the honor roll after reading to McDuff in the
Reading with Rover program.
McDuff
was a spirit animal. Judy writes about his supernatural abilities
during their nine years together and the eerie events that occurred
during and after his death.
McDuff wasn’t always the
dedicated therapy dog on a noble mission. How many therapy dogs
have been kicked out of a public library? He had two sides, one
dedicated and dignified and the other stubborn and hilarious. Be
prepared to laugh, cry, and learn from Life with McDuff: Lessons Learned from a Therapy Dog.
