Bessie's Story - Watching the Lights Go Out is an inspiring story about a charming, brave, chocolate Lab who gradually loses her eyesight. The author leads the reader from the unexpected diagnosis of terminal blindness for his beloved four-year-old pet through the two-and-a-half year transition to sightlessness. In the process, Bessie unwittingly becomes an expert mentor and teacher for the high-wire act of growing older with grace and optimism.
I ordered this book in hardcover but the delivery schedule was so slow (c'mon, Amazon!) that I bought the Kindle version too. Started reading last night and finished early this morning. If you're a dog lover (I just adopted our fourth chocolate lab), or if you're human, if you happen to be getting older, if you anticipate getting older, if you know someone who's older, if you're facing retirement, if there's any kind of challenge in your life, Bessie has wonderful lessons for you--and the author articulates them with powerful insights and gentle grace. This book will be my go-to Christmas present for many loved ones--young and not so young--this year. Wishing Bessie a long and continually fulfilling life.
