The true story of a little white dog, whose love helped to heal children in hospital. When a child is desperately ill in hospital, the doctors and nurses send for Dr. White who is gentle and warm, and has soft, white fur. He jumps onto the bed and lies there quietly, licking the child's hand from time to time, to let him know he's there. Miraculously, the little dog's love has a healing power that conventional care cannot match. Jane Goodall's true story movingly illustrates the increasingly popular medical practice known as 'Pet Assisted Therapy', which can speed the recovery of patients of all ages.
