What does Barack Obama have in common with the prison dog programs? What do they both offer? In a nutshell–Hope. Hope is powerful. It changes who we are and what we believe is possible. It makes us gentler and more respectful. It realigns our humanity with goodness.

Whether we’re behind literal steel bars, or those we have imagined; or those social and political bars that have left so many feeling disenfanchised and left out of the promise of true freedom, abundance and success that the USA [and the world] was meant to be for all–it is the promise that is felt with a renewed hope that stirs us. Hope for a better future, a better and cleaner planet, a better understanding of each other and a more humane view of all living things.

This book is not about politics. It is about hope and what happens when humans and animals alike are the recipients of a better way of doing things. Hope lifts us up. It’s good for everyone, and everything.
