Bentley’s Day Out is a touching glimpse into the special duties of a therapy dog and the life-changing companionship they bring to those in need. The book follows Bentley, the author’s real-life goldendoodle companion who spends his days bettering the lives of everyone he meets—serving others with his compassion, charisma, and comforting presence. Bentley’s Day Out allows young readers to follow Bentley for a day, teaching children about the role therapy dogs play in the lives of those who are sick, lonely, or stressed. Children will learn the difference between therapy and service dogs, understand the environments where a therapy dog visits, and how therapy dogs enhance the human-animal bond.
