Book Description
Ranger: Best Therapy Dog Ever By: Jill Barnes Ranger: Best Therapy Dog Ever is about a very special therapy dog. Ranger was a natural. He impacted hundreds of lives, both children and adults. His absolute love of everyone he met was a joy to be a part of. Today, the importance of therapy dogs is well documented, and Ranger was a real dog, not a fictional character. He was unique, from his coming into author Jill Barnes’ life, to their journey together, and even her realization of his therapy gift. In the beginning, he required extra effort on her part but gave back way more to Jill and everyone he met. Readers will enjoy the story and appreciate therapy dogs even more after meeting Ranger.
