- Synopsis
- When Jimmy is attacked by a Japanese soldier in the Pacific during World War II, his devoted signal dog Pat, dies defending him. After Jimmy returns to the states, totally blind, he falls into despair until his fiancé encourages him to apply for a guide dog. Jimmy goes to The Seeing Eye and trains with Pat, a beautiful German Shepherd. Life goes on for the two until one night, when Pat helps save the day during a horrible hurricane. Themes about losing vision, dealing with overprotective family members, and the freedom you can receive by working with a guide dog are all interwoven into the plot.
