The cover of the book. The top line on the cover reads "Jennifer Gravrok, PhD" Then in bold and dark blue the title reads "Understanding Assistance Dogs" Below that is smaller text that has the subtitle which reads "Is an assistance dog the right tool for you?" There is a black silhouette of a dog sitting and looking to the upper left corner of the book. There are four blue pawprints.

This book will help you determine: 

1. whether an assistance dog could assist with your disability.

2. whether you can form a mutually beneficial relationship with an assistance dog. 

3. what the best method is for you to get and work with an assistance dog.
