4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent grade school level book on Guide Dogs, November 20, 1998

This review is from: Guide Dogs (Hardcover)

This book tells the history of how dogs have been trained to assist the blind to be able to live and travel more independently. It tells how a school fosters the puppies out, then calls them in for training when they are ready. Many color photos, a glossary of new terms, and places to contact to learn more. Overall an excellent grade school book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book all about Guide Dogs, November 7, 2003

This review is from: Guide Dogs (Dogs at Work) (Library Binding)

If you are looking for a very informative book about Guide Dogs, this is the one!

(The review below me by "A reader from Pennsylvania" is wrong, this book is not about bomb detection, it is all about Guide Dogs. They were reviewing a different book in the same series called "Bomb Detection Dogs". I've notified Amazon of the error but for whatever reason they have not yet corrected it.)

This book here includes stuff on how guide dogs are trained as well as background on puppy raising of future Guide Dogs. Also covers how the dogs do their job of being "eyes" for the blind. Geared towards younger readers, this book will provide plenty of fascinating information for people of all ages.
