These are Guide Dog Cooper’s stories, Dear Diary entries, and Challenges. They are written by me — the stories told from the dog’s perspective are for entertainment purposes only. They may or may not reflect real life, either way, they’re pretty close!

I’m very happy to have my, or I should say, Cooper’s book available in paperback format.

Unlike the ebook, the paperback includes a photo gallery, and 47 pictures total in the book.

I’m happy with how it turned out, and I’m fairly sure you’ll also like it! If you’ve followed Cooper’s stories here on Medium, you’ve probably read some of them already, but they’re improved for the book. I mean — the book is always better, right?

The book description:

This is the book of guide dog Cooper, and it is unique. How? It’s written as diary entries and, therefore, told from Cooper’s point of view. While reading, you’ll learn what Cooper does for work and fun, both on duty and during his time off. This book tells how guide dogs assist blind people (who aren’t always totally blind) and answers questions like, ‘Why can’t I pet the dog?’ and, ‘How does a guide dog know where to go?’ We are absolutely sure you’ll find Dear Diary, Love Cooper entertaining and enlightening.

With my ebook 'Dear Diary, Love Coper,' I wish to raise awareness of sight loss and guide dogs. It's light and informative, and the dog tells the stories 🇨🇦
