If you enjoyed reading Off Limits as much as I enjoyed writing it, it would mean a lot for you to give me a review on Amazon.
If you haven’t read Danny and Ryan’s story,
you can check out Off Sides here.
If you haven’t figured it out by now, I am a proud supporter of the U.S. Marine Corps and all of our troops. If you want more information about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Traumatic Brain Injuries and Psychiatric Service Dogs, check out these links:

Please note that I took great liberty with the use of Harley as a psychiatric service dog. In this book, Harley ultimately is a pet but service dogs are working animals. They certainly don’t jump all willy-nilly on folks and often, it can even be prohibited to approach or touch one without the owner’s permission. Their training can take months and they are very disciplined animals. Forgive my latitude in giving Harley a bit more leeway in this book!!!
