Summary:
At loose ends with her daughter leaving home and her husband on the road, Sue Halpern decided to give herself and Pransky, her under-occupied Labradoodle, a new lease on life by getting the two of them certified as a therapy dog team. In a public nursing home, she led her teammate into a series of encounters with the residents that revealed depths of warmth, humor and insight Halpern hadn't expected.
