| Publisher Description: Most of us take for granted the ability to pull open a door, get up from our couch, or pick up a dropped pen. But for Amy Chally, a thirty-four-year-old licensed social worker, with spastic quadriplegia cerebral palsy (CP), these simple tasks are a daily challenge. Determined not to let her CP hinder her ability to live a more independent life, Amy has overcome obstacles with courage, faith, the love of her family, and the help of Yazzen, a service dog, bred and trained by Canine Companions for Independence. Making Independence Happen, One Paw at a Time is a two-part memoir. Part one is Yazzen's adventurous tale of his journey from a tiny pup to Amy's invaluable partner in crime. Part two is Amy's story detailing how she got started on her journey to receiving a service dog and her quest to fulfill her heart's desire to help others as a social worker. A heartwarming testament to the powerful bond that exists between Amy and her dog Yazzen-a service dog who is her lifeline to independence, this inspirational story is also a closer look at what it's like to live with physical differences-while dreaming, laughing, and loving just like everyone else. |
