Once there was a lonely pup, who needed a good home...
 
When a lonely puppy named Church finds his "fur-ever" home on a surfboard with a boy named James, life is pretty maika'i (awesome). But when the local surf pup steps up to earn his official service animal rating and starts working to help others overcome their fears and anxiety, it gets even better. 
 
This adorable and heartfelt true story celebrates the Hawaiian practice of mālama (caring) and invites readers big and small to join Church's 'ohana—an ever-growing family around the world—all of whom share Church's happy philosophy: to face whatever life throws at you together with smile and laughter.
