- Synopsis
- CJ, the Guide Dog Puppy, tells the story, in her own words, of a guide dog puppy's first year of life. CJ's story begins at the Southeastern Guide Dog kennels where she was 12 weeks old, and follows her experiences in the home of her loving puppy raisers. Although CJ enjoys the usual puppy life of games and toys, she already knows her future will be very special. Her year with puppy raisers provides her with many experiences that prepare her for her formal training as a guide dog for a blind person. Young children will not only learn about the training of a future guide dog, they will also be able to internalize feelings CJ has about learning, working, and sharing her love with the people in her life. Author Mary Ereth is a former first grade teacher, who was selected as Teacher of the Year in the Akron Public Schools. "A wonderfully appealing way for children to understand the world of the physically challenged."--Frank Kavanaugh, Ph.D., Professor of Communications, Punta Gorda, Florida. "The puppies and dogs in training are truly God's gift to those individuals with special needs."--Beth A. Campbell, Cleveland, Ohio. "Before we met CJ, we thought dogs were just good buddies, but now we understand that CJ and other guide dogs are the "eyes" for someone. We are lucky to have met CJ, the guide dog when she was just a puppy. It's really cool that Mary Ereth wrote this book so that lots of kids can read about guide dogs and how important they are to everyone."--Richard Freshwater, age 9, and Kent Freshwater, age 8, Englewood Elementary School, Englewood, Florida.
