A layabout mutt turned therapy dog leads her owner to a new understanding of the good life.At loose ends with her daughter leaving home and her husband on the road, Sue Halpern decided to give herself and Pransky, her under-occupied Labradoodle, a new leash—er, lease—on life by getting the two of them certified as a therapy dog team. Smart, spirited, and instinctively compassionate, Pransky turned out to be not only a terrific therapist but an unerring moral compass. 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 hadn’t expected. And little by little, their adventures expanded and illuminated Halpern’s sense of what virtue is and does—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 faithful, charitable, loving, and sometimes prudent mutt—showing great hope, fortitude, and restraint along the way (the occasional begged or stolen treat notwithstanding)—taught a well-meaning woman the true nature and pleasures of the good life.

I am surprised to read so many odd/negative reviews of this wonderful book, and I surely don't understand how somebody could find this book too philosophical, 'not about the dog', and too deep.It is a lovely story of the work done by a thoughtful woman and her ever-so-pleasing canine companion as they embark on a journey that leads them to a more satisfied life (for both) and provides many a pleasurable moment to the people they interact with in a nursing home atmosphere.I'm quite certain that because Sue Halpern is a gifted, witty, and intelligent writer it is not surprising that she's able to tie all of this together with great wisdom from the ages with the words of Aristotle and the like thrown in for good measure.One reviewer said she wanted more dog stories: Did you read this book? It's all about the dog, really. Pransky (the dog) helps her owner find meaning to her life, helps those she interacts with find meaning, and provides a few funny (and philosophical) moments for the reader to enjoy along the way. Often, that 'meaning' is invisible to those petting Pransky's soft head or loving paws, but it's there, and provides a lift to the heart that clearly evokes the 'therapy' part of this kind of work. Just by existing, Pransky brings an unknowing joy and peace to those he interacts with. Really all quite clever and touching.If you're looking for a story about a dog and nothing more, this is not your book. If you want a story about a dog and his owner and the people they interact with while doing their volunteer animal therapy work, this is it. It's not a "how-to" (although, there are some great tips to be found throughout the book, if you want to read this as great 'therapy dog experience' book) and it's not 'cut and dried'; it's so much more than that. It brought me to tears a number of times, and it made me laugh out loud quite a few more.As the owner of a 9 month old puppy who will be entering the world of therapy dog work when she's old enough, I enjoyed this book so much. Sue Halpern's incredible writing style brings warmth, wit, joy and sadness to the human life we live, and ties in all into the sparkling eyes of a loving dog.You won't regret this journey.
