Have dog, will travel

a poet's journey
2018
"[Stephan] Kuusisto was born legally blind, but being raised in the 1950s he was taught to deny his blindness in order to 'pass' as sighted. As an adult, he coped with his limited vision until he was laid off. With no other job opportunities in his vicinity, he would have to travel to find work. He found himself at Guiding Eyes paired with a Labrador named Corky. Here he recounts how partnership with a guide dog changed his life, and the . . . adventure that began for him in midlife"--OCLC.
