About this title

Synopsis

Meet Doug the Pug, a working therapy dog who helps children feel safe, heard, and understood!

Doug the Pug: A Working Dog's Tale is the charming story of a little baggy pug and his busy life as a working dog. Written by Cate Archer, a Companion Animal Therapy Worker, this 64-page children's book explains the work of her therapy dog Doug and the difference he makes for children in schools.

Doug works with children by helping them feel secure and comforted, encouraging them to talk about problems, and supporting positive experiences in the school environment. A special focus of his work is listening as children read to him, helping build confidence, connection, and comfort around reading.

Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
