Publisher Description
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.
Customer Reviews
You will laugh, cry and laugh again.
Josh Grossberg has compiled a bunch of stories he wrote as a newspaper reporter into a book called "From Scamp to Champ: How One Puppy Gave Hope to the Blind and Other Real-Life Animal Stories." (Some of the proceeds from the book with go to Guide Dogs for the Blind.) These are not cheesy puppies-are-cute stories; these stories are inspiring, heartwarming and heartbreaking, and include tales about his own dogs, Buck (this one will make you cry) and Rocket (you will laugh until you get the hiccups). This book is for anyone who loves animals, and will set you back less than a cup of coffee.

This book is not what i wanted if you are looking for a book about a dogs life from its vision than don't get this book,it was a waste of money.I mean if you want a documentary about how a lab is trained to be a seeing eye dog than go ahead and by this book but if not,just skim ahead.
