I am a legally blind former Dairy Herdsnam. I was enthralled by the stories in this book, and grateful for the info given about the different guide dog schools. It helped make my choice of which school to apply for a dog easier. I think this book should be required reading for anyone entereing the special needs/education professions!

As someone who suffers from a disability (epilepsy), it was a pleasure to learn that not only wasn't I alone, but that my seizure alert dog is part of a greater whole. The assistance dog movement is growing and through this book more people will learn of its benefits.

Edelbach and Winston should look to this true professional to create the SET book. He writes with the quality of a true professional, which is why he remains a professor at the wonderful institution of the College Of New Jersey. His writings are genuine and compelling. I never would have thought that cultural anthropology would be such an exciting subject until I picked up this book!
