<\/p>\n
Kate\u2019s 2\u00a2: There is a plethora of in-depth biographies of authors and reviews of their books, that state the title, author, published date, and genre; as well as,\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 describing what the book is about, setting, and character(s), so, Kate\u2019s 2\u00a2 merely shares my thoughts about what I read.\u00a0 I\u2019m just saying\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I read this book when it first came out and I re-read it this year in commemoration of that unhallowed event. At the time, I heard that there was also another guide dog at work in the World Trade Center. The handler took off the dog\u2019s harness and leash to give him\/her a chance to get to safety, as the\u00a0 man thought they weren\u2019t going to make it.\u00a0 The dog ran out into the hallway, stopped, and came back for the man. They then proceeded to safety together.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Several of my six guide dogs have been faithful to me, but, then again, we\u2019ve never been as tested as Hingson and Roselle.\u00a0 I wonder why David ran off without telling Mike to \u201cfollow me!\u201d? He just ran off!\u00a0 Maybe Roselle followed him anyway, so that\u2019s how they reconnected.<\/p>\n The added information after the story, comparing how let-handed people fit into the right-handed world being comparable to the blind fitting into the sighted world was interesting. The list of resources is a good idea; however, some of the contact information is out of date.<\/p>\n Over all, I\u2019m glad he shared his experience and expertise.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n From NLS\/BARD\/LOC:<\/p>\n Thunder dog: the true story of a blind man, his guide dog, and the triumph of trust at Ground Zero DB73300<\/p>\n Hingson, Michael; Flory, Susy.
