An informative story that educates young readers on a range of service animals who help support  people in a variety of ways.  The format throughout follows a pattern of two sentences centered on a page with the following page showing an illustration of the service animal and human  Eleven different animals are highlighted in this story. The illustrations  which were digitally created are  very simplistic and not very interesting.  The color palette is rather dull, with grey and yellow hues. The execution of the story is rather bland, even though the intention of the story is well placed. A glossary of the service animals is included and provides additional information.
