Meet Cash, a real-life yellow Labrador therapy dog who works with the police-not to chase suspects, but to spread comfort, confidence, and joy! In Cash the Caring K9, children discover that heroes come in all shapes, sizes, and fur coats.

Set in the welcoming town of Madisonville, this beautifully illustrated book follows Cash and his handler, Major Jones, as they visit local schools to help students feel safe, brave, and supported. From cheering hallways to storytime snuggles, Cash shows kids that strength isn't just about power-it's about kindness.
