As a mental health therapist, I highly recommend this book for anyone who struggles with worries, anxieties and fears. With thought provoking insight, I admire the way the authors inspire the readers to consider how the ideas could apply to their own lives. Anyone who loves dogs will love this book!

thank you to netgalley, the authors, the narrator of the audiobook and dreamscape media for the ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
i was incredibly excited to read this. i am a service dog handler but lack the perspective of a guide dog handler.
i have heard of the authors story before, that their guide dog helped guide them out of the 9/11 attacks. they share information about this experience and more.
the book follows them through multiple guide dogs and the life experiences and lessons tied to them in their journey.
their guide dog serves as more than a mobility aid but also a rock through hard times such as said story and the loss of his wife.
the book had more religious undertones than i expected, which isn’t typically for me, and perhaps something to be aware of for some readers but i didn’t find it detracted from the message or fully guided the story.
i enjoyed hearing about each dog, and the life journey they had together. i enjoyed the perspective of a blind handler and would recommend this book.

I'm not visually impaired or a pet owner, so this book was very insightful. I cannot begin to understand the depth of the losses Hingston has undergone, from family, to pets, to jobs. I found it incredibly refreshing how he extracts inspiration from those around him, and his perspective on everything his guide dogs offered him. As someone who isn't very religious, I found the increasingly frequent mentions of God a little too much. I understand having faith in God and looking up to him for direction and support, but I remember a point in the book where the author mentions him every single sentence. I think that took away some of the focus from the author's relationships with his guide dogs.

A moving and motivational memoir from blind 9/11 survivor about being brave and facing your fears. Lots of personal stories and life advice perfect for disabled and able bodied readers alike. Good on audio too. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early audio copy in exchange for my honest review!

Very interesting knowledge about a guide dog their skills, connections and training that goes into it as well as the understanding of living life with a disability. Thank you NetGalley for the advanced audiobook.
