I had every intention of writing this book during the decade that Hank and I were busy as a pet therapy team. I was continually inspired by his confidence and ability to bring smiles and comfort to everyone we met. However, life just seemed to get in the way and I never put pencil to paper. It wasn’t until Hank passed away in September 2019 that I realized how lucky I was to have been his owner, handler and friend and that it wasn’t too late to share his story.
Through the tears, I’ve done my best to write a fitting tribute to Hank. This book was my effort to convey how he truly enriched the lives of others and shared his gift of love with all he came in contact with, both human and canine.
