About This Item
Synopsis
After a particularly grisly search-and-rescue operation, Susannah Charleson found that her closeness with Puzzle, her canine search-and-rescue partner, made a surprising contribution to her healing. Inspired by that experience, Charleson learned to identify abandoned dogs with service potential, plucking them from shelters and training them to work with human partners, to whom the dogs bring comfort and hope. Much as in her bestselling first book, Scent of the Missing , Charleson’s The Possibility Dogs goes beyond the science to tell the stories of the dogs themselves. Like Merlin, a black Lab puppy who had been thrown away in a garbage bag and now stabilizes his partner’s panic attacks. And Jake Piper, a formerly starving pit bull terrier mix who was once abandoned and is now irreplaceable. This heartwarming combination of memoir and research is sure to both inform and inspire.
