Forward. Heel. Park.: Adventures with My Four-Footed Friends (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798990502895)

The spirited adventures of a woman with visual impairments and her service dogs, Forward. Heel. Park. is an exuberant memoir of hard work, trust, and friendship.

Born two months premature, Judy Redlich was diagnosed with Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP)-a condition which left her without sight. But determined to be an overcomer, Judy grew up to become a wife, mother, and successful media personality. Though she mastered many obstacles on her own, she often wondered what life would be like with a service dog.

This is the story of her adventures with her four-footed friends.

Weaving together humorous anecdotes and poignant experiences, Judy takes her readers on an extraordinary journey. From the halls of The Seeing Eye school where we witness the wondrous pairing of dogs and people, to the unexpected landscape of daily travel, to a home aglow with family and canine companionship, Forward. Heel. Park. opens your eyes to the hazards and thrills of a world many of us have never considered.

And while this lively memoir reveals the unique challenges of the visually impaired, it is ultimately a story of perseverance and hope-a call for every reader, regardless of ability, to live as an overcomer.
