Rescue & Jessica A Life-Changing Friendship by Jessica Kensky and Patrick Downes

Rescue & Jessica A Life-Changing Friendship is based on the real-life story of Jessica Kensky who was injured in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing. The bombing resulted in the eventual amputation of both of her legs. Rescue, a lab trained as a service dog by the NEADS program, literally came to Jessica's rescue and became her very own personal assistant. More importantly than that, Rescue became her loyal friend at a time in her life when she desperately needed one.

This picture book won one of my favorite book awards...the Schneider Family Book Award. I recommend it to any reader who values canines and the wonderful ways they can enrich human life.
