Overview

The inside story of the working life of an extraordinary guide dog. Guide dogs are carefully bred and trained to help their handlers live safely and independently. But what makes one dog truly exceptional? Life With Jefferson tells the true story of the remarkable partnership between Jefferson and Penny Leclair, a deafblind woman whose independence depended on finding the right guide dog. After two years of searching, Jefferson was chosen for his unique intelligence, sensitivity, and ability to meet Penny's specific needs. His training continued with special considerations that shaped him into more than a working dog-he became a trusted partner and beloved family member. Through heartfelt and often humorous stories, readers come to know Jefferson's personality, devotion, and deep desire to communicate and protect. As he aged, his wisdom grew, and his dedication never wavered. This moving nonfiction account offers an intimate look into the bond between a guide dog and the humans who depend on him-a story of trust, love, and partnership that will stay with you long after the final page.
