A fascinating children's book starring "Hank" a long haired dachshund who brings joy and happiness to people who can use a little help. A wonderful story which follows Hank's development from a puppy to a trained therapy and reading assistance friend to many children and ill adults. The book illustrates the best how dogs can improve our lives. Very touching, it is a sweet and touching story.

Highly recommend for small children and beginning readers.Who can resist an inspiring and true story, especially one about an extraordinary dog named Hank. Through his voice, children will enjoy the story of Hank’s life, while discovering life lessons of acceptance and kindness along the way. This is a beautiful story about a dog, his family, and his generous heart. It’s a wonderful addition to any child’s library to be read and re-read often.

Colorful and bright, this is a great book for children of all ages (and adults). Read it together or children can read it on their own. Fall in love with marvelous Hank and his many adventures in his extraordinary life!

This is a children’s story about a dog who finds he has the unique gift to help those in need of a therapy companion. As a new father and dog owner, I found Hank’s journey remarkably meaningful as a way to explain the special relationship held between children and pets. The story details Hank’s talent for connecting and helping people from all walks of life. The book is easy to read and my young son loves the colors and graphics. I highly recommend Hank the Therapy Dachshund as a staple to any children’s bookshelf!
