"Readers will fall in love with this heartwarming story of human-animal connection and resilience.”—Shelf Awareness
One woman's journey through progressive blindness and the extraordinary guide dog who kept her safe along the way
When ethics scholar Deni Elliott, born with limited vision, realized she could no longer navigate the world safely alone, she turned to a guide dog—a decision that reshaped her understanding of disability and independence.
Written in collaboration with master trainer Graham Buck, Catching Sight offers a behind-the-scenes look at the world of guide dog breeding and training, revealing the intelligence and decision-making skills these dogs develop from birth.
Catching Sight is for readers interested in the transformative power of human relationships with animals. As Deni confronts her changing reality, she shares the hidden world of guide dog training and introduces Alberta, a yellow Lab whose quiet brilliance changed her interaction with the world and herself.
Catching Sight offers a fresh and unforgettable perspective on disability, identity, and the power of partnership.
