BLUE, the Deaf Agility Dog
Dumped out of his car, BLUE escapes a bad man, but she doesn't know what's in store for her, or that her own narrated story in a book would become widespread and loved. Meet BLUE, a deaf Miniature American Shepherd dog, who narrates her remarkable journey from puppyhood to an amazing, almost improbable outcome. Based on true events, her journey doesn't fail to warm our hearts and inspire us to never give up hope. ********** Adults, adolescents, and dog lovers are BLUE's true readers.
