"My dog is blind - but lives life to the full" deals comprehensively with the subject and is written in a non-technical style that will make it accessible to dog owners. It is an optimistic "can-do" book and provides plenty of case studies to illustrate how individual dogs (and their owners) have coped with their disability. This book provides a useful starting point that can help owners understand their dog’s disability and learn to cope with it. As a support book it is worth recommending to owners as part of a support package that aims to empower owners and allow them to develop a sensitivity to, and understanding of, what is, at first, a very distressing condition. Owners will particularly appreciate reading the case studies and seeing how others have coped well with similar problems.
