White, Betty and Tom Sullivan The Leading Lady
Bantam Books September 1, 19 0-553-07395-8 / 9780553073959 Hardcover; w/j used: excellent
A pleasant, personalized account of two celebrities-- singer/entertainer Su llivan (If You Could See What I Hear, 1975) and TV star White (Betty White' s Pet-Love, 1983; Betty White in Person, 1987)--and the guide dog who touch ed both their lives. When Sullivan, blind since birth, realizes that his de voted guide dog, a golden retriever named Dinah, is herself losing her sigh t, he begrudgingly decides to adopt a new working dog--a strapping young La brador retriever named Nelson. But when Dinah cannot accept the ``career ch ange'' to family pet, it is longtime friend and animal-lover White who come s to the rescue by taking Dinah in. Here, in alternating chapters written b y White and Sullivan, are stories about Dinah's early and later years--her extensive and demanding travels with Sullivan (often on airplanes to strang e cities and hotels) for TV appearances, golf tournaments (yes, Sullivan pl ays golf), and concerts, and her move into White's pet-filled household. Bu t there's more here than show-biz glitz- -there's honest talk on family dyn amics (Sullivan is married and has two children), on how a blind person ove rcomes fears and manages to lead a fulfilling life, on guide-dog training ( Sullivan is candid about the mistakes he first makes with Dinah), and on ho w one graceful, devoted, hard-working canine affects positively the lives o f those around her.
