Big World of Little Dude: You, Me and Empathy Little Dude helps us understand how other people feel through his experiences and adventures as a therapy dog in New York City. When he visits people who are sad, sick or in need of some love, Little Dude realizes he has empathy in his heart. Activity ideas for families and teachers included! “Little Dude has a wide appeal for multiple age groups and children walk away with a new kindness skill for their emotional toolkit." -Grace Zell, New York Public Library
