A touching story of a young woman who loses one leg and is adjusting to her life, when she is told that they need to amputate her other leg too. Rescue doesn't make it as a seeing eye dog, but after service dog training is paired with Jessica. Rescue's training and Jessica's struggles are dealt with appropriately, though Rescue's worries seemed a bit contrived. However, I was impressed that the authors are both survivors of the Boston Marathon bombing and I was truly impressed by Magoon's quote: "I am deeply inspired by how each of us - regardless of our challenges, advantages, or species - is just a little bit better when we work together..."
