Prince is a loving little puppy who likes getting his own way. He grows into a sweet, comical and gorgeous Standard Poodle. After some time, he learns that his cooperation makes for a happy overall team, and finds out that he too can be an important team leader at times. He enjoys visiting patients and staff in a local hospital as a Pet Therapy Volunteer. Off therapy duty, he discovers and shares the ocean as his large playground with his human companion, Lori. This is Princes story in his own words. A Preface by the author expands upon the nature of dogs, and Standard Poodles in particular. A Post Script includes references to scientific articles documenting the amazing abilities of dogs in their service to humans.
