Donnie and Whitey Donnie Wheels

"Donnie and Whitey" tells the story of how a young boy with a mobility-disability discovers that a service dog can be a wonderful companion and a key that opens the door to the outside world. Children with challenges, beaming with their untarnished spirits and youthful positive attitudes, often appear heroic. But as helpful and necessary as they may be, wheelchairs can feel very isolating to those sitting in them. Service dogs, no matter their specially trained skills, truly are super heroes. For the child with a challenge, a service dog is not only a valuable tool, but also a constant loyal companion. For everyone else a service dog is an irresistible force of nature that routinely makes a child's wheelchair disappear."Donnie and Whitey" is intended for children of all abilities and ages. We warmly recommend it to parents, teachers and anyone who works with children. The themes of empowerment, growth and empathy explored in "Donnie and Whitey" are portrayed in pictures and words that may lead to many wonderful conversations between children and adults alike.
