Entonces conoce a Jessica, una chica cuya vida también está resultando diferente de cómo se la había imaginado. Ahora Jessica necesita a Rescue a su lado para ayudarla a realizar las tareas diarias. Y resulta que, después de todo, Rescue puede ayudar a Jessica a ver: siguiendo un mismo camino hacia adelante, juntos, paso a paso.

Rescue thought he’d grow up to be a Seeing Eye dog, but when he gets the news that he’s better suited to being a service dog, he’s worried that he’s not up to the task. Then he meets Jessica, a girl whose life is turning out differently than the way she’d imagined it, too. Now Jessica needs Rescue by her side to help her accomplish everyday tasks. And it turns out that Rescue can help Jessica see after all: a way forward, together, one step at a time. Based on a real-life partnership, this 2019 Schneider Family Book Award Winner features an endnote from the authors about service dogs, including their real-life best friend and black lab, Rescue.
