Seamlessly weaving the narrative between the extraordinary exodus from the burning towers and Hingson’s fascinating life is a savvy literary device that only enriches the tale.Ī tragic, inspirational and enlightening memoir. But the authors go beyond that, offering both an illuminating look at the realities blind people face every day and the astounding capabilities of seeing-eye dogs. That account alone would have been a worthy and important endeavor. A decade has not muted the horrors of 9/11, and Hingson and co-writer Flory do a magnificent job of relating what it was like in the aftermath of the attack. The chilling account of how the two worked in tandem to safely descend 78 floors and 1,463 steps, while simultaneously helping others remain calm, is truly awe-inspiring. It was a beautiful but storm-shy Labrador retriever with a golden coat who would help save his life.

Guide dogs helped him navigate through grade school, college and his first jobs. Growing up blind, the author came to rely on their dedication, loyalty and courage at a very young age. Hingson’s remarkable relationship with guide dogs began long before the events of 9/11. My primary goal is to connect with my readers on a personal level and create content that is meaningful and relevant to everyone’s interests.The story of a four-legged superhero named Roselle, who led her owner out of the ruins of the World Trade Center. With that experience came both challenges and inspiring moments that I hope to share with you along this magnificent journey of Sit, Stay, & Blog. One of my most monumental experiences to date has involved being the first student to ever raise and train a service dog, Pinella, at my undergraduate institution. While attending my undergraduate institution, I involved myself in a plethora of unique activities which undoubtedly provided me with memorable experiences and a motivation to document and share these experiences with others. In 2018, I graduated with a Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and in 2016 I received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology, with a minor in Sociology. Welcome! In a world where time is a valuable, precious component of life, I am ever so grateful for the personal time you are taking to read about me and how I began Sit, Stay, Blog!
