Some picture books just make an adult tear up and this one did it for me.  Madeline Finn is a little girl training her dog to be a therapy specialist.  But there is one man at the nursing home that will take a bit extra to make you smile.  This is a lovely tale and the illustrations match.  There is a bit of diversity in the characters, but not much.
