Praise for "Life with McDuff"
Lessons can come from a teacher who doesn’t know their teaching. “Life with McDuff: Lessons Learned from a Therapy Dog” is a collection of tales regarding the small black Scottish Terrier called McDuff and the relationships he formed with the patients he was assigned to. McDuff’s chain of friends who were suffering from severe disabilities makes for an intriguing read as these people find more strength in the small dog that helps them live their lives and reach for greater heights. “Life with McDuff” is a choice pick for pet lovers.

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 on a journey to learn about the profound impact a dog can have on our lives.

It was an honor having Judy and wonderful McDuff in the Henderson Libraries Reading with Rover program. This book confirms that dogs do more than keep us company and guard our property. McFadden’s story told from the heart tells us our pets do think, feel and communicate and sometimes in amazing ways.

Judy McFadden quickly acquaints her audience with McDuff’s seraphic spirit, then releases the reader on a touching journey that tugs at the collective heartstring. The stories are poignant as the Author allows us to be part of the serendipitous encounters between very special people in the Opportunity Village PRIDE Program and this most special dog.

As I read page after page, I realize that the
difference in nationality doesn’t matter, only individuals.
I’ve learned a lot from Life with McDuff because I found a lot
of common things in the story with only exception that I’ve
never met a therapy dog or animals. The McDuff story is
impressive, encouraging and inspiring!!
