New Book Tells the Story of One Incredible Working Dog: Therapy Dog Lady!
by Anonymous

Warwick, NY May 7, 2004 -- Local publisher Moo Press of Warwick, NY announced today that the first book in their One Incredible Dog! series will be published May 15, 2004. One Incredible Dog! is a new early reader series for ages 4-8 that honors the incredible things dogs do for people every day.

Written by Chris Williams, a radio announcer in Baltimore, One Incredible Dog! Lady is about Lady, a therapy dog who works 40 hours a week in Hanover, PA.

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."

Chris, Lady, and Kathy often appear together to promote the book and spread the word about the wonderful help therapy dogs can provide. Chris signs books and Lady does "paw signing."
