1 rating 1 review
Based on a true story following the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, this heart-warming story of the love and teamwork between a girl and her assistance dog will illuminate and inspire. Rescue thought he'd grow up to be a guide dog - it's the family business, after all. But when he gets news that he's better suited to being an assistance dog, he's worried that he's not up the task. Then he meets Jessica, a girl whose life is turning out differently than the way she imagined it, too. Now Jessica needs Rescue by her side to help her accomplish everyday tasks. And it turns out that Rescue can help Jessica see after all: a way forward, together, one step at a time. An endnote from the authors tells more about the training and extraordinary abilities of assistance dogs, particularly their real-life best friend and Labrador, Rescue.

Rescue & Jessica is an amazing book that shows us how strong friendship can be. Jessica is a kid who gets lots of surgeries because her foot is not normal. She really feels like she needs a companion who could offer her support when times are tough. She chose a dog named Rescue, and they bonded together. The truth is that they both helped each other - Jessica helped by getting Rescue away from the training and Rescue helped her by offering support. It is true that a friendship could change one's life.
