Piper and Pickle: Smile

Piper is a shy little girl that prefers to be by herself. Pickle is an abandoned shelter dog who has just lost a leg to a severe injury. This touching story illustrates how the human-animal bond can help bring both humans and dogs to a greater and happier state of being. SMILE also helps introduce canine communication basics to children. Book Review: "With training and experience, veterinarians become very savvy at reading a pet's body language. Wouldn't you like for your child to kick-start their own animal communication skills to help keep them be safe and happy around dogs? Written by a practicing veterinarian, "Piper & Pickle: SMILE" uses a wonderful, truth-based story to illustrate canine body signals but also serves to celebrate the human-animal bond. Filled with lessons and love, I bought this book for my granddaughter, Reagan. I am definitely recommending this book to ALL of my clients and friends who have children." --Dr. Marty Becker "America's Veterinarian"
