“Live Like a Guide Dog: True Stories from a Blind Man and His Dogs About Being Brave, Overcoming Adversity, and Moving Forward in Faith” by Michael Hingson and Keri Wyatt Kent is a remarkable and inspiring read. Blind since birth, Michael never allowed his lack of sight to limit his potential or spirit while growing up.
One of the key insights Michael shares is how our emotional state affects those around usโespecially guide dogs. He learned that if we are fearful or anxious, our guide dogs will sense it and get fearful too. While walking through the campus of Guide Dogs for the Blind (GDB), Michael observed how trainers carefully evaluate and adjust training sessions to suit each student, ultimately working to match them with the ideal guide dog.
Michael emphasizes how awareness and preparation can significantly reduce fear. Throughout the book, he recounts impactful moments with his guide dog, Squire, and how their bond shaped his life. As Squire aged and slowed down, Michael eventually welcomed his next guide dog, Holland. He has walked with different guide dogs for decades.
This book is not only informative but deeply moving. Iโm grateful to have read it. Michaelโs journey with his guide dogs teaches us valuable life lessonsโmost notably, how fear can be transformed into courage. Rather than letting fear hold us back, we can harness it as a force for growth and strength. This is a well written book. I highly recommend it to my fellow readers.
