From Scamp to Champ How one puppy gave hope to the blind and other real-life animal stories by Josh Grossberg

Meet Tola, a rambunctious puppy filled with mischief. But with some loving guidance, she'll soon begin training to become the eyes for a blind person. This true story follows Tola's journey from gangly pup to proud assistant dog. From there, you'll read about an officer and his police dog, a fish-and-game warden whose job it is to protect wild animals, a daring rescue of a seal trapped in a fishing net, a pet who helps a gravely ill girl reconnect with the world, and a family who thought they lost a beloved companion during Hurricane Katrina. Along with those inspiring stories, you’ll meet a five legged cat, a duck that lives in a bathtub and a man who surrounds himself with hundreds of snakes. “From Scamp to Champ” contains almost 20 animal stories ranging from the warmhearted to the whimsical.
