Thunder Dog: The True Story of a Blind Man, His Guide Dog, and the Triumph of Trust at Ground Zero Audiobook

" It wasn't quite what I thought it would be. It is a good story and is easy to read, but it doesn't go into as much detail as I thought it would about his experience during 9/11. It was very enlightening to read about his experience growing up blind and how he has been able to find his way through a world geared for sighted people. "

" Be prepared to cry all the way through! "

" Very touching story about the bond between a man and his eyes during their darkest hour together "

" I was expecting an inspiring story about a blind man and his guide dog making it out of the World Trade Center on 9/11. I got much more. The story of escaping death was good, but I learned so much more about blind people and how little difference there is between those who are blind and those who are sighted. I recommend this quick read if for no other reason than to be more aware of the capabilities of handicapped individuals as opposed to their limitations. "

" A great book with a demonstration of unconditional love, bravery, and overcoming. Great read! "

" Absolutely a wonderful book. It shows a true test of character in the man and the dog. "

" This was a really good book. I listened to it in the car, and it's one of the better audio books I've listened to. It was interesting to read about what happened to him on Sept 11 and learn about his life. "

" A must read book. Very inspirational and interesting insight into a blind mans world. "

" A story about a blind man and his guide dog who were on the 78th floor of the WTC tower 1 on 9/11. "

" Meh- This was more of a biography of the writer than about the dog or 9/11- and despite the extreme circumstances it was not very compelling of a read "

" sounded so interesting and emotional but ended up being so slow! "

" It's 2 days before the 11th anniversary of the 9-11-01 attacks. Reading this account helped me to once again appreciate the sacrifice so many made on that day. "

" This is an excellent read. If you enjoy good storytelling, then this is a story to read. Inspirational and educational. The tragedy of 9/11 is woven through the book butt it is do much more. "

" Not what I expected.. but still somewhat interesting.. "

" A good read about what a blind perosn can accomplish. "

" Michael Hingson is just an ordinary guy, who happens to be blind, and who managed to survive an extraordinary day with the help of his guide dog, Roselle. I enjoyed reading about his life story and how he doesn't see his blindness as a disability. "

" I really enjoyed this book, for all the reasons:9/11 survivor, Guide Dog and disabilties. "

" This was a fantastic book. I strongly recommend. "

" Was interesting, but enjoyed "Until Tuesday" more. "

" I enjoyed reading this book. Not only was it about the dog but; about Michael and growing up blind. Gave lots of insight as to how it is growing up blind. Something I hope I never have to do. A must read. "

" Would have given it 3.5 stars. Even 11 years after 9/11, the book reads fresh. Hingson's opinions and insights on blindness are well-presented, and perhaps left of mainstream thought. His genuine regard for his dog[s] comes through clearly. Source citations appear to be very comprehensive. "

" I enjoyed this book, but it didn't really have a lot of depth. It basically told the story of Mr. Hingson's trip down the stairs of WTC 1, intertwined with accounts of his experiences growing up as a blind person. It was heartwarming, but didn't have much in the way of "wow" or headshaking moments. "

" Interesting book about a blind man and his guide dog's escape from one of the Twin Towers. The book dragged at times, but it was worth reading. "

" Quick, easy read. Great feel good story. "

" Learned about life, God, how to interact with blind people, and fell in love with a dog "

" A good read about what a blind perosn can accomplish. "

" Really liked it. Have read alot about 9/11 but learned some new stuff. Interesting-learned alot of stuff about blind people and guide dogs. "

" A good read. And really puts you in the shoes of a blind person and his dog, in and out of the chaos of 911. "

" Well, let's just say I am glad I read (listened) to it. Not at all what I expected, but my heart and soul are warm and feel good from listening to it. "

" I wish I could give more than 5 stars. This book was inspirational and so moving! "

" Such an inspiring and interesting story (especially since I am going into the field of visual impairment). Be prepared to be sent back to 9/11 and feel all of those emotions again. "

" Powerful story and easily made its way to my top list of "favorite reads". "

" Very interesting read. I've never know much about the world of blind people and this was a great insight into that. "

" Read the entire book in a couple of hours. Interesting story about the author and his guide dog's descent down the stairs after the Work Trade Center attack on 9/11. "
