A puppy who became a true American hero. The blind boy who
let nothing stop him. When they finally grew up and met, it was magic. On
September 11, 2001, a blind man escaped the World Trade Center by walking down
78 flights of stairs with his guide dog. Days later, America fell in love with
Mike and Roselle, and the special bond that helped them survive. Mike shared
his story in the New York Times bestselling book, Thunder Dog. Now, in Running
With Roselle, kids can follow Roselle as she grows from an energetic yellow Lab
prone to stealing her puppy raiser’s slippers to a confident guide dog who
passes the ultimate test when her partner needs her most. Meet Mike, a boy
blind from birth who excels in public school, shocks the neighbors by riding
his bicycle through the streets of Palmdale, CA, drives a car around his
college campus, and uses his relationship of trust and teamwork with Roselle to
help others on a day that changed America forever.
MORE FROM MICHAEL HINGSON:
An instant New York Times bestseller, Thunder
Dog tells the true story of a blind man, his guide dog, and the
life-changing power of faith and trust in the face of terror.
When one of four hijacked planes flew into the World Trade Center's
North Tower on September 11, 2001, Michael Hingson, a district sales manager
for a data protection and network security systems company, was sitting down
for a meeting. His guide dog, Roselle, was at his feet.
Blind from birth, Michael could hear the sounds of shattering glass,
falling debris, and terrified people flooding all around him. But Roselle sat
calmly beside him. In that moment, Michael chose to trust Roselle's judgment
and not to panic. They were a team.
As you relive that fateful day in September 2001 alongside Michael and
Roselle, you'll learn:
·
The ways that grief and loss can lead the way for
change
·
How the rare trust between a man and his guide dog
·
can inspire your own unshakeable faith
· The healing power of telling your own story
"Chapter by chapter of this intriguing work will keep you
spellbound. Thunder Dog celebrates the power of the human
and animal bond. We all can learn life lessons from this incredible
story."--Larry King, Emmy award-winning
broadcaster and longtime host of Larry King Live
