It is also, more broadly, about the importance of intimate connection in human-animal relationships, academic work, and personal life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn her previous book, \u003ci\u003eTraveling Blind: Adventures in Vision with a Guide Dog by My Side\u003c\/i\u003e, Krieger focused on her first two years with Teela, her lively Golden Retriever-Yellow Labrador. \u003ci\u003eCome, Let Me Guide You\u003c\/i\u003e continues the narrative, beginning at the moment the author must confront Teela's retirement and then reflecting on the span of their relationship. These emotionally moving stories offer the reader personal entrée into a life of increasing pleasure and insight as Krieger describes how her relationship with her guide dog has had far-reaching effects, not only on her abilities to navigate the world while blind, but also on her writing and teaching, her ability to face loss, and her sense of self.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCome, Let Me Guide You\u003c\/i\u003e is an invaluable contribution to the literature on human-animal communication and on the guide-dog-human experience, as well as to disability and feminist ethnographic studies. It shows how a relationship with a guide dog is unique among bonds, for it rests upon highly regulated connections yet touches deep emotional chords. For Krieger, those chords have resulted in these memorable stories, often humorous and playful, always instructive, and generative of broader insight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSusan Krieger, a sociologist and writer, teaches in the Program in Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Stanford University.
