Looking for a purpose after her daughter moves out of home, Sue signs up the unsuspecting family dog, Pransky, in a  training course for therapy dogs. Their first assignment is at a local nursing home. Whilst Sue had some initial reservations about being surrounded by old people, Pransky had none, taking to the task ... well like a dog to a bone! Halpern's heartwarming recount of the experience and her humility of learning from Pransky's example - showing love, charity, acts of kindness and respect.
