A Job for Arabella
by Pat Nowak

|
|
|
 |
|
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.
