Thunder Dog

With the 10th anniversary of 9/11, I was eager to read “Thunder Dog: The True Story of a Blind Man, His Guide Dog, & the Triumph of Trust at Ground Zero” by Michael Hingson and Suzy Flory. The book tells the account of Michael Hingson, who was on the 78th floor when the World Trade Center was attacked. The book looks at the reasons behind Michael’s blindness, along with being raised with a seeing family.

As an animal lover, I found myself particularly interested in this book. I liked seeing how the dog, Roselle, was committed to saving the life of Michael Hingson, and I liked learning about Michael’s story and his determination to navigate over 1,000 stairs to escape the burning building. I read this book in the span of a few days, and I found myself unable to put the book down. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to sharing it with family members to enjoy.
