If you are a dog owner just read this. It is such a special book.
Heartfelt, emotional just amazing.

This book is absolutely stunning, so very well written and captivating but also really stays with you, I was especially effected by Becky's story - she was introduced to Leo whilst in hospital in an awful way after trying to commit suicide - it really struck a chord with me in my own mental health challenges
Leo is an amazing, empathetic and incredibly huge hearted dog, he possesses what so many of us who love a dog already know, the ability to look past the outside and know what you need and how to help you.
I have ordered a physical copy of this incredible book and know I will be dipping into it again and again.

I love this kind of thing but this one felt like a load of fluff dressed up to be more than it was. To be honest, it made me quite angry. I constantly questioned whether any of it really happened as the author said it did, who came across as vain with delusions of grandeur, taking credit for hard working medical staff and a lovely dog.

A beautiful and heart warming book, showing the power of nature and animals in curing the sick. The author is an inspiration - I hope she continues her work for many years to come.

Simply adorable! Lyndsey Uglow has endured and overcome mental health challenges and much personal pain, including her young son’s battle with Leukaemia. Lyndsey knows only too well the emotional rollercoaster experienced by parents supporting their children through critical illness, but she also knows just how much the company of dogs can alleviate just some of their worry and pain.

The healing bond with dogs that helped her, she now shares with others – in the shape of a dynasty of exceptional Golden Retrievers, including the incredible Leo. Since 2012, Lyndsey has made it possible for therapy dogs to visit more than 10,000 children, many critically ill, bringing smiles of simple joy and a sense of normality to lives ruled by pain, sadness and uncertainty in paediatric intensive care, cancer wards and palliative care.

Leo has also faced his own battles. After suffering a serious injury on a beach run, he was saved by a pioneering technique which restored him to full health for the sake of the children who were missing him so much.

This is Lyndsey and Leo’s story and how they have brought the extraordinary healing powers of dogs to others; while sharing the stories of just some of the thousands of children for whom a soft paw or wet nose has brought comfort, care, laughter and joy at the darkest of times.

What can I say. Except wow!! This is an excellent book.
From personal experience I know the healing power of a dog. They can't cure you but they bring such joy.

Dogs do have an instinct. I loved this book
It's inspirational.
