Roxie’s journey has taken her from being abandoned on the side of the road, to being rescued and adopted, to becoming a certified pet therapy dog visiting the hospital, hospice, schools, and the local airport.

A few of the pre-release reviewer comments:
I think it’s brilliant. I often feel like I’m on an island as a professor. I wish I’d had something like this when I first started teaching over 20 years ago…The scenarios really help get the reader into the discussion and prepared to think about the issue at hand. - Ashli Archer, Professor (Florida State College at Jacksonville)
This is a fantastic project and the book will be a welcome resource! I certainly can think of ways to incorporate it into the work our office does here! - Todd Stanislav, Director, Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning (Ferris State University)
Wow, you are covering some controversial topics! This book is going to be different and invaluable! - Pam Ranallo, Co-Owner (Innovative Educators)
