I received the book 'Thunder Dog: The true story of a blind man, his guide dog and the triumph of trust at Ground Zero' by Michael Hingson with Susy Flory just before the 10-year anniversary of 9/11. I was expecting an amazing survival story of a blind man and his dog emerging from the towers. I did get that story, but so much more as well. Interwoven throughout the story of Michael Hingson and his guide dog, Roselle, he describes his life as a blind person in a seeing world, and his experiences with guide dogs. I learned so much about these topics, and the intense relationship between a blind person and their guide dog. 'Thunder Dog' was about a blind man's amazing journey throughout his life, and the lessons he has learned along the way. It was spiritual, encouraging, and nearly impossible to put down. At the back of the book are some helpful extras including 'The Courtesy Rules for Blindness', 'Blindness, a Left-Handed Dissertation', Resources for Blindness, and Glossary of Terms Related to Blindness. I definitely recommend 'Thunder Dog'.
