A Dog Named Slugger by Leigh Brill Reviewed by Paul H. Yarbrough Click to Buy “I have cerebral palsy. I walk funny and my balance is bad. I fall a lot. My hands shake, too. That means I’m not so good at carrying things. And if I drop stuff, sometimes it’s hard to just bend [ ]. So began Leigh Brill's journey toward independence and confidence, all thanks to a trained companion dog named Slugger. The struggling college student and the Labrador with a "a coat like sunshine" and a tail that never stopped wagging became an instant team. Together, they transformed a challenge into a triumph. In this book Leigh Brill shows us how her 'working dog' Slugger made a real difference in her life- not just picking up pens and pushing elevator buttons for her, but also giving her courage and self-esteem. Slugger is her guardian and her best friend, and Leigh's writing makes it easy to love Sluggie, too.
