The beautiful yellow lab was abandoned and in a shelter. She did not understand why nobody wanted to adopt her. Finally, a woman stopped at her cage and took her home. She named the dog Sita and trained her, through a prison service-dog training program and her own service-dog training facility, to be a hearing ear dog.
This book's colorful pages depict Sita's journey from the shelter, to a prison, and finally to a forever home where she is cherished as a companion and indispensable helper. Her true, heartwarming story is appropriate for young children. Teachers and librarians can use this book as an informational tool. [Jane M. Biehl, PhD; (2014) 42 pages; soft cover]
