Yes, it's on the NLS BARD site, as a digital talking book.  I didn't check
other sources or formats.

> I have been reading Meet My Girls ... by Grace Napier, which I got from
> the NLS BARD website. It's about the ten Seeing Eye dogs she's had over
> the past 69 years.
> It's written for children, so sometimes it's slow and simple, but it's
> interesting to read about her experiences with her dogs. Her first 4 dogs
> were boxers.  TSE used to have a relationship with a show boxer breeder,
> and she donated the dogs she didn't want to show to TSE, so anyone could
> get one.
> She was an itinerant teacher in south Jersey during the late '40's or
> early '50's.  I think, if I were an itinerant teacher, I'd try to get a
> driver just to save time, but she did not.  She went all over, walking and
> taking buses and trains.  No car-to-door for her dogs!  And of course ages
> before GPS.  Even in her 80's, she was walking all over her town.  And she
> talks sadly about the upcoming day when she will retire her last dog and
> not get another.
> I enjoyed the book, despite the slow or teacherish bits.
