Holly’S “Pawsitive” Life Lessons

By Laura Donelan

Hollys Pawsitive Life Lessons:
Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
When it is in your best interest, practice obedience.
Run, laugh and play daily.
Take time to notice how you are feeling.
When someone is having a bad day be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.
Holly the service dog offers some wise advice about pro-social skills, body awareness and helpful strategies to self-regulate. Hollys book is designed for children to read independently or for a trusted adult to read to them. There is a guide included for parents and educators that will enhance Hollys teachings.
If your child loves dogs, then they will love this book!
