Download A Dog Walks into a Nursing Home: Lessons in the Good Life from an Unlikely Teacher AudioBook Free
At loose ends with her little girl leaving home and her partner on the highway, Sue Halpern decided to give herself and Pransky, her under-occupied Labradoodle, a new leash - er, rent - on life by getting the two of them accredited as a remedy dog team. Smart, spirited, and instinctively compassionate, Pransky turned out to be not just a wonderful therapist but an unerring moral compass. Inside the unlikely sounding industry of a public medical home, she led her teammate into a series of encounters with the residents that revealed depths of heat, humor, and information Halpern hadn't expected. And little by little, their adventures expanded and lighted Halpern's sense of what virtue is and does indeed - how works of kindness transform the giver as well as the given-to. Crazy, moving, and deep, A Dog Strolls into a Nursing Home is the storyplot of how one faithful, charitable, loving, and sometimes prudent mutt - showing great desire, fortitude, and restraint on the way (the occasional begged or taken treat notwithstanding) - taught a well-meaning woman the true dynamics and pleasures of the good life.
