THE RIGHT DOG FOR THE JOB; Ira's Path from Service Dog to Guide Dog
SOURCE: Print
BODY: Ira is an appealing golden retriever puppy who grows into his job as a
guide dog in this latest effort from a prolific and respected science writer
for children. At first Ira is trained by an elementary school teacher in
Montana who also works with an organization training service dogs to help
people with disabilities other than blindness. Later Ira transfers to a
program run by Guide Dogs for the Blind in California and then becomes a
guide dog for a man in Washington State. Though this switch in Ira's
training is a little confusing to follow, it allows the author to explore
the similarities and differences in training between service dogs and guide
dogs. There isn't much explanation of why people need service or guide dogs,
as Patent's focus is on Ira and his development, with thoughtful
acknowledgment of the children who help with the dog's training along the
way. High-quality photographs illustrate Ira's journey from cuddly puppy to
confident working guide dog. (aut
