Not sure if they provide the same function, but I do recognize the importance of the warmth and comfort that a canine companion can bring to a soldier. Sophie Scott goes South sounds exactly like my kind of book. Will be on the lookout for that one next time I visit the library.GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-59338067302458388912014-08-27T21:17:35.247-06:002014-08-27T21:17:35.247-06:00It is amazing I agree, Michele.

They were always sharing and showing the dogs at school because it was good practice for the dogs, too! As for the students, many do, but of course it depends on the topic. Each class does service work with another group all the year, but additional activities happen too. I agree, helping students become aware of the work being done with service dogs, or helping anywhere may inspire them to choose to do something to help.

It is a wonderful organization that helps many. I'm glad there's a book about it. And the book by Kathi Appelt about the Ronald McDonald house is another one I'd love to read. do your students also do service projects related to their chosen topic? I am always looking for ways for my students to engage in service. These books could serve as a guide for this discussion.

I had seen this book in a Monday post quite awhile ago and forgotten to write it down, then couldn't remember title or author--only that there was a polar expedition book that I really wanted to get. But this is the one! I'm excited about Tuesday Tucks Me In as well. Don't you just love this reading challenge?
