Click for a printable order form.
A Job for Arabella tells the story of Arabella, a rescued pound puppy. Arabella is chosen to become one of a select group of dogs-those with the special job of helping people with disabilities. Young readers will follow Arabella as she grows from an inquisitive puppy to become a strong, dependable dog. With help on her journey from her first trainer, a high school student named Caroline, Arabella learns the skills needed to perform rudimentary tasks. Later Arabella undertakes additional challenges and strings new commands together with early ones in order to help with household needs. After Arabella has learned all of her tasks, she must undergo a final test in order to determine whether she will earn her placement as a service dog, the job that she has dreamed of for so long.

Written by Carolina Canines staff member Pat Nowak, A Job for Arabella will enlighten readers of all ages on the important role of service dogs. The fifty-six-page chapter book includes illustrations by Mary Alice Baumgardner. All proceeds from the sale of the book benefit Carolina Canines for Service, Inc.

Trade paperback, 5.5x8.5, 56 pages, 16 original illustrations. $7.99 ISBN 978-0-9800070-0-8
