| Publisher Description: Throughout human history, dogs have performed service tasks for us. Some of the earliest documented cases occurred during the First World War. Do Not Pet: A Service Dog's Graphic Tail follows the story of one such service dog, Ruby, who gave the author Joe Biel mobility, health, and companionship through the most difficult years of his life. This book details their personal struggles with public awareness and accommodation, as well as celebrates their remarkable interspecies bond. |
