Greetings, 

I thought some of you may have an interest in this book. Anne is a former
colleague of mine in New York and an active member of the Westchester New
York Council of the Blind. In my opinion, she is an excellent author with a
great sense of humor. 

See links below to purchase the ebook from Amazon. 

Have a nice weekend and stay warm everyone!

What, exactly, does it mean to share one's life with a guide dog?

While there is practical merit to the human-canine bond, which developed
over a period of 70,000 years, it's not akin to any other human-animal
relationship. It is unique.

The person and guide dog are interdependent, and the bond of mutual trust is
what makes the partnership successful and fulfilling for both. Ask yourself
how many people you would trust with your life, and after answering, ask
yourself if you would trust an animal with your life. Unless you are bonded
to and live with a working dog, you might hesitate in answering the second
question.

To be sure, guide dogs have performed many heroic tasks and have saved
handlers from innumerable dangers. However, there are smaller and subtler
things that can mean so very much: the feel of your dog's head on a foot
while riding the bus, the whimpers and doggie dreaming, the way you and the
dog move  in sync when walking down the street, and countless other tokens
of trust and affection.

With this book, I hope to take the reader on a journey of understanding:
learning what it's like to overcome the darker side of disability by walking
the path of independence with a canine partner.
