Purdue Press Author Susan Krieger on WBAA Radio

July 8th, 2010

In her new book, Traveling Blind, Stanford professor Susan Krieger describes coming to terms with losing sight in adulthood. Her memoir is poignant but also inspiring as she describes some of the new sensations she experiences as well as the capabilities she has lost. At the center of her stories is always Teela, the labrador guide dog who becomes her constant companion. Published in the series New Directions in the Human-Animal Bond, edited by Alan Beck, this book is a powerful, first-hand account of the unique relationship that exists between humans and their assistance animals. Hear more about Traveling Blind in an interview broadcast on WBAA Public Radio on July 8, 2010, and archived in the series of Purdue University Press 50th anniversary broadcasts on the WBAA website.
