I am a volunteer "whelper helper" who hugs and cuddles puppies who are bred and raised to be service dogs for folks with disabilities ... deaf adults or veterans with PTSD, mostly. It is a wondrous job.
I am also the owner of golden retrievers, and have been for 50 years. So when I discovered this book about an Army veteran with PTSD who was rescued by a golden retriever, I couldn't resist.
The book was quite educational ... I learned a lot about PTSD, the symptoms, the debilitating effects and how a well trained service dog can improved a wounded warrior's life. I learned how the dogs are trained, and how they are paired with their human. And how the veteran improves their lives.
It's a touching story. It's not for everyone. But it was for me.
Don't search for the end of the story until you have finished the book.

This was a wonderful, yet deeply emotional, read that touched my heart, of a veteran and his deeply loyal service dog.
