Book Description

0967225310 978-0967225319 August 1999 3rd printing
"Blind Dog Stories" is a heartwarming collection of short stories for the dog-lover. Spawned from her previous work with blind dogs, Caroline Levin enlightens and entertains the reader with twenty-two, amazing dog stories. This, Levin’s second book, demonstrates that blind dogs can lead happy, useful lives and celebrates the beauty of the human-canine bond.

Some of the stories you’ll read include: Blind Enthusiasm - Barely surviving birth, a blind Siberian Husky becomes the fearless leader of an Alaskan dog-sled team. To Look in the Face of Danger - The extraordinary account of a boy, his dog and their near-deadly encounter with a rattlesnake. Set Your Sights High - Despite his puppy mill beginnings, a Golden Retriever demonstrates the true nature of the human-canine bond. Look Before You Leap - When a blind Labrador pulls a girl from the Pacific Ocean, it’s no ordinary day at the beach. Blind Faith - It took a difficult hike, on a steep woodland trail, to summon up the wondrous skills of a blind Cocker Spaniel

Editorial Reviews

Review

Here's a book that will tug at even the most stoic of heartstrings. "Blind Dog Stories" relates the happy, sometimes even euphoric tales of blind dogs and their owners...tales of heroism, dedication and love. For anyone who is considering euthanizing a blind dog, read this book. It will give you hope. And it demonstrates that a dog's quality of life does not necessarily depend on perfect vision. -- The Oregonian, January 1, 2000

These stories illustrate that some dogs will not only cope with blindness but flourish if given the chance" -- Canadian Assoc. of Veterinary Ophthalmology Newsletter, Nov. 1999

This is one of those jewels you don’t want to place down until you’ve reached the final page. -- Seattle Times, March 2000

Well-written, uplifting and inspirational. "Blind Dog Stories" a wonderful illustration of the human-canine bond. -- The Living Chow Chow, January, 2000

From the Publisher

After a decade in human ophthalmic nursing, Caroline Levin left that field to manage an ophthalmic veterinary clinic. Here, she was able to meld her knowledge of ophthalmology with her love of dogs. Levin realized that blind-dog owners had a desperate need for educational material. Since then, she has written the only two works in this field: "Living With Blind Dogs" and now, "Blind Dog Stories".

5.0 out of 5 stars Well-titled!, November 4, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Blind Dog Stories: Tales of Triumph, Humor and Heroism (Paperback)
Excellent choice of stories; would love to know there are more planned (perhaps a series of such books, like "Chicken Soup..." series). My own wonder dog, Wiggles Blue Heeler, and I have our own story to tell that we are living!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Read, March 20, 2007
This review is from: Blind Dog Stories: Tales of Triumph, Humor and Heroism (Paperback)
This is a good, quick, read. We're going to adopt a blind dog from a shelter, so it was helpful to read about the amazing abilities the blind dogs have. It was also a good book for our kids, age 9 and 13.
