Story
At loose ends with her daughter leaving home and her husband on the road, Sue Halpern decided to give herself and Pransky, her under-occupied Labradoodle, a new leash - er, lease - on life by getting the two of them certified as a therapy dog team. Smart, spirited, and instinctively compassionate, Pransky turned out to be not only a terrific therapist but an unerring moral compass. In the unlikely sounding arena of a public nursing home, she led her teammate into a series of encounters with the residents that revealed depths of warmth, humor, and insight Halpern hadn't expected.

The Underdogs tells the story of Karen Shirk, felled at age 24 by a neuromuscular disease and facing life as a ventilator-dependent, immobile patient, who was turned down by every service dog agency in the country because she was "too disabled".

Great Book of personal stories about Dana and her
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book. I listened to it on my way to work and on my way home. And it was a wonderful heartwarming story. Not too intense on any level. Which is just perfect for the workday commute listening.

A Beautiful Distraction
Heartwarming, inspirational; a beautiful distraction. This book promotes the value of sweet humanity that can be found in the simplistic occurrences between man and pup. It inspires one to pause which inadvertently opens the heart to love and be loved.

Love the book
As a dog lover myself, I could relate to so many of Dana's stories especially the loss of Henry and getting a new puppy afterwards we lived that too 😢. I especially loved her husband's version of his story. May you have many more years with Jasper he sounds like a great dog. and keep telling his story on the Five I love them!!! To heck with Gregg😝

Amazingly brilliant book
If you are a dog lover this book is for you. I enjoyed Dana and Peter’s stories immensely. I will give one warning have tissues next to you. You will laugh,cry, give a lot of aww’s,smile and giggle. I found parts are pure joy and happiness and there is a part that is incredibly heartbreaking(I.e. the tissues). If you are a Fan of the Five or the daily briefing you are in for a treat. I loved Dana singing and her way of telling stories with cute voices. Peter(Dana’s husband) telling stories is priceless and such a joy. I promise between Dana and Peter’s British accent you will have a wonderful time learning all about Jasper and his mommy & Daddy. If you are a bit down from the year this book will bring lift your spirits and bring you pure Joy. I promise you by the end you will be full of joy,hope,peaceful and content. Grab this book you won’t regret it.
