Walk With Me: How a Fearful Cat Person Gave Her Heart to Seven Dogs (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798993050621)

"Seeing Eye dogs are only for the very deserving."

The very deserving probably did not include people who could not stand to be anywhere near a dog. How would this cat-loving child ever grow up to experience the independence she wanted as a blind adult?

Walk with Me tells the story of Sarah Blake LaRose's journey from fearful child to adulthood and the choice to give her love to the dogs who traveled by her side for over thirty years. It also tells how the cats she adored continued to be part of her life, building their own relationships with the dogs.

Walk With Me is good reading for anyone who loves animals. It provides an intimate look at the experience of training with a dog guide and at what it is like to vring a dog guide into every aspect of one's life. Readers are invited into the most intimate parts of Sarah's life as she confronts her dog fears, meets her first dog guide, learns to interact without fear, and eventually moves through retiring one dog and meeting the next-seven times.
