London Lake Pickett

Buster is a special, well-behaved guide dog who has been trained to safely guide London to many places. You see, they go everywhere together because she has an eye disease (blind in left eye and has ten percent right vision). Sometimes we all need one another and Buster helps London to avoid tripping and falling, especially bumping into things or getting lost. You can't help but want to pet these dogs when you see them, but the author tells us it's best to let the dog do his job of protecting someone who cannot see above or below or all round the side very well. These messages are an important theme throughout the book.

There's another part of the story that I especially like. It's about fun and friendship together! You never know what Buster and London will find on their walk. You'll read all about Buster's adventures at a school, enjoying the beach, taking a hiking trip to the mountains and the desert, and having a wonderful time together with London. Love-able, 100 pound Buster even knows how to be quiet and he's well behaved in a small shop with life-size stuffed animals. London communicates by saying commands and Buster follows them. Learn a list of commands in the back of the book. The illustrations are nice.

I highly recommend this educational book about blindness and guide dogs. It will make a great addition to home, school and church libraries. 5/5 stars!… (plus d'informations)

This is a true story of a Goldador (part Golden-Labrador Retriever) Dog that is the author's Guide Dog. "Buster" is trained to guide, protect and follow commands in public and at home. As the new owner develops a safe, heart-warming relationship of loyalty and trust, you'll enjoy reading about their amusing adventures together, of Buster walking past cats, eating a frog, chasing bunnies and a surprise in his mouth! Young and old will enjoy learning how a sweet guide dog and a dear blind woman take care of one another properly, responsibly and so lovingly. Very educational for home and school library with a list of commands in the end notes. It’s true, animal lovers love happy beginnings! When a dog (not just any dog but your dog) finds you or I should say, you find him
or her, then a beautiful friendship begins. I love this book.… (plus d'informations)
