Stephen attended public school, rode a bike, and read books pressed right up against his nose. As an adult, he coped with his limited vision by becoming a professor in a small college town, memorizing routes for all of the places he needed to be. Then, at the age of thirty-eight, he was laid off. With no other job opportunities in his vicinity, he would have to travel to find work. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This is how he found himself at Guiding Eyes, paired with a Labrador named Corky. In this vivid and lyrical memoir, Stephen Kuusisto recounts how an incredible partnership with a guide dog changed his life and the heart-stopping, wondrous adventure that began for him in midlife. Profound and deeply moving, this is a spiritual journey, the story of discovering that life with a guide dog is both a method and a state of mind.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53670778536209,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781451689792.jpg?v=1781512757","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/books-have-dog-will-travel-by-stephen-kuusisto","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
