Author: Musket
Publisher: iUniverse

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 325
Book Description
Have you ever wondered what a guide dog does? How do they know to lead a blind owner? Can they understand traffic lights? Most importantly, how does the owner know where to pick up the poop? This memoir answers these questionsand more. It tells what guide dogs are supposed to do. Theyre smart, loyal and well-trainedbut not all dogs are created alike. Musket is proof of that. Hes definitely got a thing for treats and belly rubs. For the first time, the dog has his say. (Of course he needed a little help with the typing, since he doesnt have opposable thumbs. Thats where author Mark Carlson came in. Still, Musket is the brains of the outfit.) Mark and Musket tell their story with humor, emotion, and Muskets occasional contradictions. And at the end of the day, Musket somehow manages to be a great guide dog too. Confessions of a Guide Dog was written so a wonderful, devoted dog could reach out to those who havent been lucky enough to meet him. Hell make you smile, laugh, cry, and want to give him treats. This is their story. (And theyre sticking to it.)

A Guide to Guide Dog Schools

Pages : 152
Book Description
Fewer than 1.5% [of the blind and visually impaired] use guide dogs as their basic means of mobility. One reason for this low percentage is the lack of information about these canine assistants. [The authors'] goal is to fill this information gap. -Introd. As [the authors'] originally envisioned this guide, it would be a resource for blind people considering partnership with guide dogs.

[They] hope the present edition will find an equally diversified readership.... To provide greater coverage, [they] are including the Canadian training programs in this edition. -Pref.
