A Dog Named Slugger - Leigh Brill
The true life story of a dog who changed everything for one woman.
For the first time in my life, I didn't need to pretend, I didn't need to be tough: I only needed to be honest. 'I have cerebral palsy. I walk funny and my balance is bad. I fall a lot. My hands shake, too. That means I'm not so good at carrying things. And if I drop stuff, sometimes it's hard to just bend down and get it.' I waited anxiously for the interviewer's response. She smiled. 'It sounds like a service dog could be great for you.'
So began Leigh Brill's journey toward independence and confidence, all thanks to a trained companion dog named Slugger.
The struggling college student and the Labrador with a 'a coat like sunshine' and a tail that never stopped wagging became an instant team. Together, they transformed a challenge into a triumph. Together, they inspired and educated everyone they met. Now, Leigh honors her friend with the story of their life, together.
