Books
Cover of the DVD with pictures of service dogs.
This wonderfully upbeat book provides a unique view of blind, deaf and physically disabled persons and the remarkable dogs that make it possible for them to more fully participate in the world around them. Partly autobiographical, partly journalistic, Partners in Independence relates the experiences and chronicles the travels of the authors as they take an advocacy role for the needs and rights of the disabled, especially those who use specially-trained dogs as eyes, ears or attentive assistants. There are profiles of Delta Society award winners, both human and canine and biographies of the dedicated people who raise, train and place these very special dogs.Ed and Toni Eames are truly an inspiration. Both blind, the Eameses maintain a dizzying schedule of travel, writing and advocacy for their admirable cause. The Eameses live in Fresno.
