A Dog Walks Into a Nursing Home: Lessons in the Good Life from an Unlikely Teacher

In late adolescence, Pransky was bored: she needed a job. and so Sue Halpern decided to give herself and her underoccupied Labradoodle a new leashâ€”er, leaseâ€”on life by getting the two of them certified as a therapy-dog team. Pransky proved to be not only a terrific therapist, smart and instinctively compassionate, but an unerring moral compass as well. In the unlikely-sounding arena of a public nursing home, she led her teammate into a series of encounters with the residents that revealed depths of warmth, humor, and insight Halpern hadnâ€™t expected. Little by little, their adventures expanded and illuminated Halpernâ€™s sense of what goodness is and doesâ€”how acts of kindness transform the giver as well as the given-to.

Funny, moving, and profound, A Dog Walks into a Nursing Home is the story of how one virtuousâ€”that is to say, faithful, charitable, loving, and sometimes prudentâ€”mutt showed great hope, fortitude, and restraint (the occasional begged or stolen treat notwithstanding) as she taught a well-meaning woman the essence and pleasures of the good life.
