(NAPSI)—A heartwarming new picture book for children, “Andy: A Dog’s Tale” by John Kelly, follows the journey of a determined puppy who overcomes adversity to discover his purpose as a Canine Companions service dog. The book is adapted from the award-winning short film of the same name that has more than 16 million views on YouTube.
Named after the favorite pet of Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz, Andy was brought to life by Ignite Animation Studios with the support of Executive Producer Jean Schulz, Charles’ widow and a Canine Companions board member.
“Andy’s journey reflects the heart of what service dogs do—providing independence, companionship, and love,” explained Schulz.
