Description
Did you ever wonder what it's like to attend The Seeing Eye? How both humans and canines are trained, molded into working partnerships and then how they live together when they return home? Author and Seeing Eye grad Lloyd Burlingame’s two Seeing Eye dogs Kemp and Hickory alternately tell of their experiences being trained from the canine point of view. Then they go on to describe life in one of the world’s most fast-paced and vibrant places, New York City. Readers of all ages will be fascinated by these dog’s tales of dodging cars, crowds, handling one emergency situation after another, foreign travel and becoming regulars in their master’s show business world.
