Free Book (Kindle) - A Dog Named Slugger (UK)

A Dog Named Slugger (Main/UK link), by Leigh Brill (Bell Bridge Books), is a repeat freebie for UK Kindle customers and likely to be free for US customers by morning.

Book Description

The true life story of a dog who changed everything for one woman. For the first time in my life, I didn't need to pretend, I didn't need to be tough: I only needed to be honest. "I have cerebral palsy. I walk funny and my balance is bad. I fall a lot. My hands shake, too. That means I'm not so good at carrying things. And if I drop stuff, sometimes it's hard to just bend down and get it." I waited anxiously for the interviewer's response. She smiled. "It sounds like a service dog could be great for you."

So began Leigh Brill's journey toward independence and confidence, all thanks to a trained companion dog named Slugger. The struggling college student and the Labrador with a "a coat like sunshine" and a tail that never stopped wagging became an instant team. Together, they transformed a challenge into a triumph. Together, they inspired and educated everyone they met. Now, Leigh honors her friend with the story of their life, together.

I definitely recommend this book. It is a first-person narrative about getting through life with significant health issues, and the huge difference made by a special service dog. Definitely inspiring reading.
