Caring for others is great! Can this pup learn the ropes and help a blind child make their way through the big world?

​

Patches can’t wait to lend a helping paw. Excited to be the best guide dog ever, the young adventurer works hard to learn how to steer his soon-to-be owner safely through the busy city. But with so much to understand, the sharp-eyed tail-wagger fears just one mistake could land his human in danger.

​

Fiercely determined, the loveable furball studies street light colors, hazardous symbols, and crossing signs. And making sure he barks to show he understands each lesson while helping his teacher with her phone, and even sharing his treats with others, this kind companion hopes to ace his test.

​

With his can-do attitude, will Patches graduate at the top of his class?

A Purpose for Patches is an inspiring children’s picture book. If you or your youngster like charming heroes, understanding impairments, and sweet kid-friendly art, then you’ll love Gail L. Oxford’s powerful message.
