TRUST THE DOG Rebuilding Lives Through Teamwork with Man's Best Friend

A Connecticut foundation that provides guide dogs shares its story and those of people who have lost their sight and adjusted to everyday life with the help of guide dogs. Kirby Heyborne's soft-spoken reading adds touches of emotion to a narrative that describes both the training of dogs and owners and the events that led them to Fidelco. At times, the stories tell of routine problems, as when a woman is caught in a sprinkler because she ignores her dog's warning. Elsewhere, stories of a war victim and a foster parent turn dramatic. The stories are meant primarily to inform about Fidelco's work, but listeners can expect to be emotionally involved in the guide dog training.
