She is now a therapy dog and gives back to her community. Frankie the Walk ‘N Roll Dog keeps rolling along in her doggie wheelchair.   This paralyzed dachshund’s unabashed healing, exuberant spirit, and spunky personality is a blessed gift to everyone she befriends.  In this true, inspirational story, Frankie tells how she became a registered therapy dog and shares her visits to Libby’s House, a senior facility where many residents have Alzheimer’s or dementia.  Frankie teaches us that patience, listening, and understanding opens our hearts to what matters most—love.    Excerpt As we strolled off the elevator, a man in a wheelchair came rolling toward us. "Oh, what do we have here?" He reached down and stroked my fur. "You have wheels just like me, little pup. What happened?" My mom told the kind man how I hurt my back and how my dog cart helps me walk. His eyes fill with tears. "That is so wonderful! How nice of you to come here to visit," he said. "You just made my day!"

Outstanding!
With this lovely book, Frankie will win your heart and inspire children to overcome whatever obstacles they face in life.
