Good Dog

 

Steve Ames, a member of  Malta Sunrise Rotary, spoke today about his book "I Just Held the Leash", all royalties from which he is donating to the Rotary Foundation.

The book tells the story of Steve's Golden Retriever therapy dog Casey, and the work the two of them did in area schools, libraries, nursing homes, and institutions for the developmentally disabled from 2006 to 2013. In 2012, Casey received the Gold Award from Therapy Dogs International, indicating 500 documented therapy dog visits.

Wherever Steve and Casey went, they brightened people's day. They were helped by friends including Steve's fellow Rotarians, who came in especially useful after he was no longer able to drive. 

"I Just Held the Leash" is a product of Kindle Direct Publishing, which is owned by Amazon. The book is available for purchase from Amazon.com.
