The therapy dogs that helped people after the attacks of
9/11 inspired author Chris Williams, a radio announcer in
Baltimore, MD. Networking locally, he met Kathy Miller, a
nursing assistant at a nursing home in Hanover, PA who had
a Therapy dog named Lady. After spending some time with Kathy
and Lady, Chris wrote One Incredible Dog! Lady, a story that
takes the reader through a typical day in the life of a therapy
dog.
Trainer and owner Kathy Miller says Lady was found abandoned
by the road in Spring 2000. As a nursing assistant and animal
lover, Kathy had always been interested in animal assisted
therapy. She enrolled Lady in a Therapy Dog certification
program and after two years, Lady received her certification
from Therapy Dogs International in Flanders, NJ. Lady and
Kathy work together in nursing at the Hanover Hall Nursing
and Rehabilitation Center, and volunteer at local schools,
churches, and hospitals in the Pennsylvania area to promote
awareness of therapy dog programs.
Early reviews have given this book 5 out of 5 stars: “The
age range for this book is probably 3-11. A great Early Reader
non-fiction book that expands a child’s world in many areas,”
says Preschool Entertainment.com. Midwest Book Review calls
One Incredible Dog! Lady “heartwarming and inspiring,” while
Molly Martin, Children’s Book Review Columnist, describes
it as “remarkable…I plan to use my copy with adult beginning
readers living in a residential care facility for the mentally
retarded.”
