This is a beautiful story and child and animal, dogs can bring so much comfort to ill childern. I will be buying the series even though my childern are grown, it is still a series I want to read and they need to read to realize how lucky they were to be health during their childhood minus the normal cuts, sprains, and broken bones. I hope they sell a million plus of these books

We have the extreme privilege to live in the same community as this amazing family. Shea's fiesty spirit (she was our school's President last year) and desire to help others more than herself has been an inspiration to our children (and to us!) Mercer and Shea are an amazing team with a great message to share. I hope millions of people will buy their book for someone they love, and we might someday fund enough research to find a cure for SMA.

Hi Shea and Mercer:
Way to go, you are super wonderful and warmed my heart with your story. My husband has a dog a lot like yours and she helps him every day all day at work. Keep up with your wonderful attitude. We are all on your side. Best wishes on your New York trip.

Wonderful story of the ascendance of inspired love and courage. Dogs have always been a mainstay in my life, so I already have an appreciation of their magical, mystical qualities:Sheba Shepherd, Queenie Airdale, and Nika Golden Retriever changed the lives of many. Dogs like Mercer and girls like Shea change the world just by the way they live. Go team!

Hi Shea & Mercer you two are very special. My grand daughter was born with SMA Type 1 and she went to be with Jesus on 9/4/04 at 6 months old. We too want to find a cure for SMA. Our family walks every year for MDA & the money goes to SMA research. I will be purchasing your books & a Mercer. You are a wonderful little girl. My grandsons will be proud to have your book and a Mercer to celebrate their sister's life.

To the Today Show staff, thank you for letting Bruce sing instead of cutting to the news. The fans appreciate your flexibility - and special thanks to Natalie who said, nope, Bruce is picking up the guitar, he's singing now. In 2 yrs of working from home, I have never allowed myself to deviate from starting work at 8am and sticking to it all day, but Bruce Springsteen singing, well thats just sacred. Thank you!!!!

How Wonderful and Inspriational!

Wish I could be at that booksigning tomorrow, but I am in San Antonio, TX. However, I will help to spread the word.

I am a children's tutor; I will find a way to bring these stories to all of my "kids!"

I know that Shea and Mercer will be be overwhelmed with messages and responses... but Shea, if you get this, know that you have accomplished more in your 12 years than most of us accomplish in a lifetime.. thank you for sharing your secret adventures... I know they will be a "marvelous" read!

I saw your show about Shae and it brought tears to my eyes. I lost a Grandaughter to SMA. She was 3 1/2 years old. She was the most amazing child I have ever seen. She learned to count to 10 in spanish, loved to attend school when she could. Her favorite animals were cats. Her last Halloween she wanted to be a cat and we managed to get her at least a mask with the cat face and whiskers. She was thrilled. I believe children are the most resiliant of us all and move through this world with grace and love for all. I too am proud of Shea.

This story is very beautiful. I understand all about this disease and was very glad that this was aired to let poeple know about it....this is a very devesating disease that is known as the number one genetic killer in children. I had a son that was diagnosed in 1988 with SMA Type 1 who lived to be 16 1/2 months old. There is a little boy here in my same area that has SMA Type 2 and is getting ready to graduate from high school this year. I am not sure if very many people realize that the Muscular Dystrophy Association that helps people with children with this disease and then there is also another organization that is just for this disease called Families of Spinal Muscular Atrophy and the website for this is fsma.org.

Hi Shea,
I'm a 67 year old grandfather with one granddaughter, Jordan, also your age. I received your book and read it with great enjoyment. I'm sure Jordan will enjoy it as well.
I have also written my first book titled "Cricket", hopefully, it will be published before Christmas. It's about a 9 year old girl who is shunned by the coaches when she trys out for Little League.
I'd like to get your autograph on your book if this is possible.
I look forward to your next book, and will collect them all.
Your an inspiration to us all!

This is such a great story. I have the pleasure of working with Megan in the operating room, and know first hand, she is unstoppable. It is no surprise to me she crusdaed something so spectacular.

Hi Shea and Mercer. It was great fun to read about you and your book. I'm raising a puppy for Canine Companions for Independence, and with luck he'll grow up to be in a partnership like yours. His name is Vertex and he loves working hard on his lessons every day so he can graduate from CCI training when he grows up. We send our love to you both.
