Adapted from the award-winning short film of the same name, this heartwarming children's picture book follows the journey of a determined puppy who overcomes adversity to discover his purpose as a service dog.

An engaging and very necessary story that shows kids the importance of service dogs. --Kirkus Reviews

Andy's journey reflects the heart of what service dogs do--providing independence, companionship, and love. --Jean Schulz, president of Charles M. Schulz Creative Associates

Meet Andy--the smallest of his litter--who first captured hearts and minds in the original short film, brought to life by Ignite Animation Studios through the support of Jean Schulz, the Executive Producer and a Canine Companions board member.

Now Andy's inspiring story leaps off the screen and onto the page in this uplifting retelling by John Kelly, a contributor to the original film script. Follow along as Andy faces challenges on his path, mirroring the real-life dedication, training, and bond that go into preparing service dogs to help people with disabilities.

Here's what makes Andy: A Dog's Tale unforgettable:

- Teaches Empathy & Awareness: Introduces kids to the important work of service dogs and how they help people with disabilities.

- Celebrates Perseverance: A gentle story about overcoming challenges and discovering where you belong.

- Gives Back: A portion of proceeds supports Canine Companions, the nation's leading nonprofit provider of expertly trained service dogs.

- Visually Engaging: Features full-color art directly inspired by the award-winning short film.

- Bonus Keepsake: Comes with a dust jacket that unfolds into a 'Be A Hero' poster, perfect for bedroom walls or classrooms.

With its universal themes of resilience, compassion, and the power of purpose, Andy's story will resonate with young readers, families, dog-lovers, and people of all abilities. This touching tale reminds us that unlikely heroes often come from small beginnings--and that what matters most is the size of your heart.
