- Synopsis
- From the book jacket: Doug the black labrador is just a pup when he comes to spend a year with twelve-year-old George and his foster family. At the end of that year, Doug will be trained as a dog guide for a blind person, so it's important that he be ready for training. George has to teach his dog manners, how to obey rules and how to get along with all kinds of people, but most of all, he has to give Doug tons of love and affection so that he will be trusting and want to learn. Since George has problems with his eyes, he knows it's possible that he will need a dog guide himself one day, and he and Doug develop a special relationship. This is the chronicle of George and Doug's year together, told as George sees it and illustrated with wonder fully warm and appealing photographs. It's a remarkable story of a boy and his dog. SUSAN KUKLIN is a photojournalist whose work has appeared in most major magazines in the United States and Europe. Her photographs have illustrated several books for young people, including the award-winning The Story of Nim, A Chimp Who Learned Language by Anna Michel. Mine for a Year is the first book she has both written and illustrated. Susan Kuklin and her husband live in New York City.
