The Possibility Dogs

Author Susannah Charleston

  Available from Amazon Barnes & Noble, Indie Bound,

An inspiring story that shows how dogs can be rescued, and can rescue in return.

With her critically acclaimed, bestselling first book, ‘Scent of the missing’ Susannah Charleston was widely praised for her unique insight into the kinship between humans and dogs, as revealved through her work in canine search and rescue alongside her partner, golden retriever Puzzle.

Now, in ‘The Possibility Dogs’, Charleston journeys into the world of psychiatric service, where dogs aid humans with disabilities that maybe unseen but are no less felt.

This work had a profound effect on Charleson, perhaps because, for her, this journey began as a personal one: Charleson herself struggled with posttraumatic stress disorder for months after a particularly grisly search. Collaboration with her search dog partner made the surprising difference to her own healing. inspired by that experience, Charleson learns to identify abandoned dogs with service potential, often plucking them from shelters at the last minute, and to train them for work beside hunting partners, to whom these second-chance dogs bring intelligence, comfort and hope.
