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":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49602652635409,"sku":"GOR012789790","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50383768748305,"sku":"CIN1451689799VG","price":4.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53027069657361,"sku":"CIN1451689799G","price":4.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1451689799.jpg?v=1750891552","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/have-dog-will-travel-book-stephen-kuusisto-9781451689792","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
