Thunder Dog



"Safety is somewhere down below and 1,463 stairs are the only way out." This is one of the quotes on the book jacket of Thunder Dog. Michael Hingson is a survivor of 9/11 and his story is even more miraculous because he is blind. He and his guide dog, Roselle, navigated their way down from the 78th floor of Tower One of the World Trade Center. Interspersed in the book is some of Michael's story leading up to 9/11 as well as what happened that day. If you love animal stories, you will like the book. If you like reading about 9/11, you will like the book. If you wish to learn more about guide dogs, you will enjoy the book.
