Summary: Tom wants his dog Pepper to be just like his neighbour, Kate's dog Bailey who has his own yellow jacket, which means he can go everywhere. But not just any dog can get one! because Bailey is a very special dog. He is a Service Dog, and through Next door's dog has a job, Tom learns exactly what that means, and just how special Bailey is. This book was written as a result of observations as to how children may unknowingly cause difficulties or stress to dog and person teams that they encounter. It aims to promote discussion and understanding about the important role service dogs play within society, as well as the range of disabilities they assist with, and the work they do. (Publisher)
