Rescue & Jessica: A Life Changing Friendship 

Join us on Saturday, April 14, from 2–3:30 p.m., during marathon weekend for an inspiring afternoon story time and book signing event from the authors of Rescue and Jessica: A Life-Changing Friendship. Based on a real-life partnership, this new children’s picture book is a heartening story of the love and teamwork between a girl and her Service Dog, and will be released in April just ahead of the fifth anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombing.

Rescue & Carly

Co-authors Jessica Kensky and Patrick Downes, survivors of the Boston Marathon bombing who both lost legs as result, along with Jessica’s Service Dog, Rescue, will read Rescue and Jessica to guests and sign purchased copies of the book*. NEADS, the organization that trained Rescue as a Service Dog and placed him with Jessica, will be in attendance to further educate about its work and the importance of service dogs. Carly Copley, Fairmont Copley Plaza’s beloved canine ambassador and fellow black lab, will also be present to meet the crowd. A selection of sweet treats (cookies, of course!) and beverages (milk, coffee, tea, lemonade) will be served.

To reserve a ticket to the event, we ask for a $10 donation per adult and $5 donation per child. 100 percent of these proceeds will be donated to NEADS to support its remarkable mission and services.

*Copies of Rescue and Jessica will be available to purchase at the event thanks to Belmont Books, a Belmont-based bookstore, for $16.99 each.

Rescue & Carly

About Rescue and Jessica: A Life-Changing Friendship
Rescue thought he’d grow up to be a Seeing Eye dog — it’s the family business, after all. When he gets the news that he’s better suited to being a Service Dog, he’s worried that he’s not up to the task. Then he meets Jessica, a girl whose life is turning out differently than she’d imagined it, too. Now Jessica needs Rescue by her side to help her accomplish everyday tasks. And it turns out that Rescue can help Jessica see after all: a way forward, together, one step at a time.
