Book Review

Today I am reviewing a book entitled "A Dog Named Slugger" written by Leigh Brill.  Ms. Brill was born with cerebral palsy that made it hard for her to walk.  While in graduate school, she met someone with a service dog who suggested that a service dog could be of great assistance with her cerebral palsy disabilities.  Leigh contacted a service dog organization, and she was matched with a yellow Labrador named Slugger.  This book tells about how Slugger changed Leigh's life.  He gave her more confidence and provided love and friendship.  There is a good chapter in the book about the author's fight against discrimination when she tried to bring Slugger to work with her.  I highly recommend this book. It is a good dog book and a good book about overcoming obstacles in life and moving ahead.
