Sugar's Sweet Alert: A Diabetes Alert Dog's Journey

What if your best friend could smell when you needed help?

Sugar is a sweet white Labrador with an extraordinary superpower-her nose!

Sugar dreams of being a superhero, but she can't fly, lift cars, or see through walls. Then she discovers that her amazing sense of smell may be exactly the superpower someone needs.

When Sugar becomes a diabetes alert service dog for a young girl named Emma, she learns to recognize scent changes associated with changes in Emma's blood sugar and alert her when it's time to check. Suddenly, Sugar understands what being a real hero is all about.

Sugar may be a fictional pup, but her superpower is very real.

Inspired by the incredible work of real diabetes alert dogs, Sugar's Sweet Alert introduces children to service dogs, diabetes, and hidden disabilities through a warm, engaging story about friendship, purpose, and helping others.

Young readers will discover:

• How diabetes alert service dogs can help their handlers
• Why some disabilities and medical conditions can't be seen
• Why working service dogs need to stay focused
• How to be a respectful Service Dog Super Friend
• That everyone has something special to offer

Perfect for families, classrooms, libraries, service dog organizations, and anyone who wants to help children grow in kindness, empathy, and understanding.

Sugar's Sweet Alert is part of the Access Unleashed Tails series-heartwarming stories that help children understand hidden disabilities and discover the extraordinary work of service dogs.

Not every superpower can be seen. Some can be sniffed.
