Hope you don’t mind if I judge a book by its cover — but I think that the new jacket for A Dog Walks Into A Nursing Home by Sue Halpern is not only adorable, but truly warms the soul. So if you (or your soul) is feeling under the weather, you might want to pre-order the book now since it doesn’t officially go on sale until May 16, 2013.

Move over, Nurse Ratched and all you cuckoo candy stripers — here comes a real therapy dog!
