Book Review -- Two Dog Books

     Today, I am reviewing two books by the same author.  "Together" written by Tom Sullivan is the story of Brendan and Nelson.  Brendan has lost his sight as the result of an accident.  He doesn't think that his life has meaning anymore.  That's when Nelson enters the picture.  Nelson is a black Labrador who becomes Brendan's seeing-eye dog.  This book explores how these two build a relationship together.
     The second book entitled "Alive Day" is also by Tom Sullivan and it once again features the characters Brendan and Nelson.  In this book, Brendan is working as a counselor with the assistance of his dog Nelson.  Part of their job is to help a veteran who was injured in the war.
     Both of these books are nice stories about man and dog working together.  They tell how animals can make a major difference in the lives of many people.
     The author of these books has himself been blind for many years and uses a guide dog.  He is the author of books about blindness, and he is the former president of the Morris Animal Foundation.
