Read it to my kids! November 24, 2007

As someone who is both a medical professional and a father, I found this story to be a wonderful one to share with my children.
They know that daddy is training a Therapy Dog to help his patients, so this book was particularly wonderful for them!
Enjoy and have tissues nearby (for yourself!)
Be well,

I take issue with the School Library Journal review: "The flat declarative sentences...do not evoke emotion or drama". WRONG! I, a former declared dog-hater, received this book as a gift for my kids. Not only have I read it dozens of times and it has not once failed to make me cry, but it inspired me to adopt a retired Labrador guide dog! This is one of my favorite children's books of all time.
I loved it!!!!!! April 19, 2001

From a puppy raiser, this book it very faithful to the puppy raising experience. It describes, perfectly, all the emotions involved with this process.
educational and informative... December 3, 2000

Rugby and Rosie is a well-done children's book that helps explain the important elements of raising a guide dog puppy. I have read this book aloud to a fourth grade class. The story created good dialog and the children learned about how dogs can help those with disabilities.
