The others involve little math lessons (fun, but not a seamless fit into the story) and they don't have as solid a beginning, middle, end satisfying story arc. But the photographs are wonderful, and the concept is great. Hope your vacation was restful, relaxing and restorative and also ton of fun :) <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />SettingsSusanna Leonard Hillhttp://susannahill.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1007703247358638748.post-11818690519607734412013-05-13T10:39:52.090-04:002013-05-13T10:39:52.090-04:00This series looks interesting.

And this one is especially sweet because the girl is young and has had a hard time making friends because she has cerebral palsy, and the dog is young too, looking for just the right person to be a helper to.

When I was looking into getting our farm dog, I joined the farm dog e-list and saw lots of posts on different things those dogs can do, but a couple of owners' stories really stood out with me and those were the ones who were training their farm dogs to be therapy dogs.
