“As parents, it’s our responsibility to lay down rules for our children, but there’s no rule that fits every situation. We must discover a deeper responsibility—to nurture our children’s own instincts for truth and fairness. The Good Dog is an outstanding story that instills children with a sense of their own inner capacity for smart decision making.”

—BARRY MICHELS, MSW, The New York Times bestselling co-author of The Tools

“This heroic canine adventure is a powerful testament to the incredible human-animal bond. Readers of all ages will delight in discovering the tale of Tako and Ricky and will find them- selves inspired by their triumphant friendship.”

—ROBIN R. GANZERT, Ph.D., President and CEO, American Humane Association

“Children and adults alike will enjoy cheering for little Tako, a dog who reminds us that some- times the “bad” dogs turn out to be the best—if we believe in them and listen closely.”

—NICOLE FORSYTH, President and CEO, RedRover
