"Partners" a must read!,
By Wayne Scace (North Western, Illinois) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Partners in Independence: A Success Story of Dogs and the Disabled (Hardcover)
I am a legally blind former Dairy Herdsnam. I was enthralled by the stories in this book, and grateful for the info given about the different guide dog schools. It helped make my choice of which school to apply for a dog easier. I think this book should be required reading for anyone entereing the special needs/education professions!

A marvelous study of the assistance dog movement.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Partners in Independence: A Success Story of Dogs and the Disabled (Hardcover)
As someone who suffers from a disability (epilepsy), it was a pleasure to learn that not only wasn't I alone, but that my seizure alert dog is part of a greater whole. The assistance dog movement is growing and through this book more people will learn of its benefits.

This review is from: Partners in Independence: A Success Story of Dogs and the Disabled (Hardcover)
The revised edition of Partners in Independence by Ed & Toni Eames is a welcome addition to literature of how dogs touch and enrich our lives. The Eames' have given us an informative and entertaining look at the lives of those who have chosen to be partnered with an assistance dog. This book has appeal not only to those interested in the disabilities rights movement or the assistance dog movement, but to all dog lovers.
