Reseña del libro "Wylie's Wishes: Andy's Story (en Inglés)"
Hello! I'm Wylie.Helping small friends with sorrow in their eyes and fear in their hearts can be like walking up a mountain...long and hard, but worth the effort.Being a therapy dog and one part of a treatment team makes this journey a little easier though. My human and co-team member, Elizabeth, worked really long and really hard to learn how to help our small friends. Then she taught me the skills I needed to be her team member.We help the survivors of trauma and those who will be.When I start to work with each one of our small friends, I have four wishes I hope they achieve: To feel safe, To feel loved, To feel strong and To feel unafraid.One such friend comes to mind who was 6-years-old. His name was Andy, and his mother had just died from a drug overdose...PRAISE FOR WYLIE'S WISHES: ANDY'S STORY: "Wylie's Wishes is a poignant journey into the world of therapy for children who've suffered extreme trauma in their lives.
