What people are saying... I don't qualify for a Guide Dog but after reading this book I am forever changed.Woody's guiding light shone right into my heart. I couldn't put it down.I thought I knew what it takes to be a Guide Dog but until now I really had no idea. I'm going to contact Guide Dogs and get involved. I'm hooked!Thank you, thank you Guide Dog Woody and the Blind Chick. Ann Mcleod Some books are like droplets on a window, the memory of them is there one minute, gone the next. Not memorable at all. Buckle up! One read of Woody's hilarious and very real adventure into the incredibly life changing world of guiding, isn't enough. I'm on my third read.Please tell me there's a movie in the pipeline.J.A. Thompson Thank you Woody, for the rollicking great read and thank you Sheila Woodcock, the long term supporter of Guide Dogs whose years of donations created multiple Woody's for so many worthy people. I aspire to be like Sheila. While I may not be able to donate as much as her, I'll certainly give it a good hot crack.Jackie Boorne
