Hermie The Laughing Hyena

This charming children's book tells the story of how Sophie, a lovable Labrador Retriever, turns failure into success. Sophie was destined from birth to be a service dog, but proved not to be a good seeing eye dog. When Sophie is adopted by Robert in New York City, Robert takes her to the Crisis Center where he works as a grief counselor and she charms his clients so much that they ask for her every day. A whole new world opens up for her. Instead of working for just one person, Sophie spreads her love and joy to dozens of people each week and fulfills a bigger version of her destiny.
