"[This] book is a huge hit with the three children who are reading to my dogs. I have one boy who is reading 2 grade levels below where he should be for his age. He is sticking with the book even though it is at least one grade above where he is reading at this time. He is sounding out the words because it tells him ‘more about a therapy dog’. He could not wait to show his mother the book. Thank you for offering a book that lets children know what therapy dogs do and how they get to be therapy dogs."Kathy Trostle

"Please accept my deepest admiration for your acknowledgment and endorsement of therapy animals. One Incredible Dog! Lady …pays homage to all the truly incredible gently souls (and their wonderful owners/trainers) who bring comfort and a sense of ‘home’ to those in need. Kathy Miller and Lady have brightened so many lives here at our long-term care facility; both residents and employees reap the benefits of countless hours of training and human/canine bonding. Your book is wonderfully written, beautifully illustrated and is both appealing and refreshing. At a time when our country needs to witness acts of kindness and courage, you have gifted us with a story which encompasses both."Molly Martin
