Andy's story shows how service dogs are raised and trained. The story is very warm and touching. The illustrations are very beautiful. Thank you NetGalley and The Collective Book Studio for providing this very meaningful book for me to read.

A Mummy and Me review.
For reference my little one is 4.

A - I really loved this story mummy. Andy really helped Olivia and made her ok again. I liked seeing the real people behind the story to mummy. It was very nice and like our doggy. I love the pictures, but its sad when Andy was sad tho.

Mummy's thoughts - This is a really powerful story and shows several elements behind just how much of an impact service dogs can have for disabled.

No matter how small you are, you can have the biggest impact in the world and overcoming your fears makes you the strongest of persons/service dogs.

Overall I love the fact that this brings light and Infomation on a subject thats not overly talked about enough.

Andy: A Dog’s Tail - John Kelly

Cute front cover! 😍 The book is beautifully illustrated with lots of love and emotion. Why have I not seen or heard of the film? 🤔 I wouldn’t mind seeing it sometime.

“Andy’s journey reflects the heart of what service dogs do - proving independence, companionship and love. Canine companions has placed thousands of these incredible dogs with people who need them most, and this book beautifully brings that mission to young readers.” - Indeed it does, it’s a short story but it’s powerful in emotion and kindness. 🐶

I love dogs, I miss having a pet dog around the place but I have 2 cats to fill our small home with more than enough mischief between them. 🐈‍⬛ 🐈‍⬛

Andy — A Dog’s Tale is a heartwarming picture book based on the original short film from Ignite Animation Studios. Andy, the tiniest pup of his litter, takes center stage as he begins his journey through training and challenges, highlighting the real-life work of service dogs and the special bonds they form. Written by John Kelly, the story shines a light on the dedication behind preparing these dogs for their important role.

As a lifelong Labrador Retriever owner and dog lover, I jumped at the chance to read this story. The illustrations are crisp, detailed, and absolutely adorable—Andy’s expressions are full of charm and personality. The book beautifully shows how Andy overcomes his fears and chooses to do what he was trained to do. I also really appreciated the informative epilogue, which offers great insight into the impact service dogs have and the people they support. It’s a wonderful way to help children better understand and appreciate those who may be differently abled. Five stars!
