Thunder Dog by Michael Hingson

If you want to relive 9/11 on the 10-year anniversary of the attack on our country, you'll want to read this book.  Michael Hingson is a blind man...and he was in Tower One of the World Trade Center in New York when his world exploded. 

Michael doesn't just tell his story of that day; he tells the story of his life.  You have to understand that he was the blind kid who rode his bicycle on the streets of his hometown to comprehend his courage on 9/11.  You'll want to know about the history of his guide dogs so you'll fully appreciate the resolution and focus of Roselle, his seeing-eye dog on that day.  What a story--to see the unity, trust and determination of one blind man and his faithful dog in the midst of a tragedy.

This story isn't only the story of Michael Hingson, but it's the insight our culture needs to hear about the blind.  Michael shares his victories, his frustrations, his normalcy and even the bigotry he's faced as a blind man.  Can you imagine being refused access to a taxi or a flight because of having a seeing-eye dog?  

Roselle was the last touch of unconditional love one fireman received on that fateful day.  This is a story you'll want to read.

I'd give this book 4 out of 5 stars!
