Book Reviews of Morris and Buddy: The Story of the First Seeing Eye Dog

Book Review: More than man's best friend....
Summary: 5 Stars

A beautifully written and illustrated book that details the struggles and victories of Morris Frank a blind pioneer and advocate for the handicapable, who imported and introduced the concept of guide dogs to America. This well researched book tells little side stories in addition to the main drama about Morris Frank that makes the reader think...but never is so presumptuous as to tell the them what to think....such at Morris's first voyage across the Atlantic to meet his mentor, and because he was blind and no one wanted to assume responsibility, he was labeled as "cargo." It makes one wonder who are the truly blind in this society. This book captivated me and had me rooting for Morris Frank and his guide dog Buddy the whole while, until his final victory where I gave them and all those concerned with this book a standing ovation. Bravo.
