The Visit

"Discover the Healing Power of a Wagging Tail" What if a dog's compassion, approachably calm, confident way combined with his sheer strength and stature could assist a precious 4-year-old to take her first steps in her braces? What if a dog's soulful gaze could touch grieving hearts in ways no words ever could? And what if a dog's gentle spirit and humorous antics would speak volumes to the motorcycle accident victim, who feared acceptance of his greatly maimed appearance? In The Visit: Tails of the PAWS-itive Healer, Janet Myers takes readers on an unforgettable journey of love, resilience, and healing through the eyes of her extraordinary therapy dogs, Maggie and Bentley.
