Publisher : Bantam Books 1991 First Edition Second Printing ISBN 10: 0553073958 ISBN 13: 9780553073959 Approx. 6.25 x 1 x 9.25; 224 pages Betty, who we all loved for her acting and charm was also greatly admired for her deep love of animals. This is a wonderful reprint of an earlier edition. A wonderful heartwarming story of 'Dinah' the beautiful Golden Retriever. A pleasant, personalized account of two celebrities-- singer/entertainer Sullivan (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 touched both their lives. When Sullivan, blind since birth, realizes that his devoted guide dog, a golden retriever named Dinah, is herself losing her sight, he begrudgingly decides to adopt a new working dog--a strapping young Labrador retriever named Nelson. But when Dinah cannot accept the ``career change'' to family pet, it is longtime friend and animal-lover White who comes to the rescue by taking Dinah in. Here, in alternating chapters written by White and Sullivan, are stories about Dinah's early and later years--her extensive and demanding travels with Sullivan (often on airplanes to strange cities and hotels) for TV appearances, golf tournaments (yes, Sullivan plays golf), and concerts, and her move into White's pet-filled household. Very good condition. The book is like new with lavender cloth boards and blue spine. The dust jacket is very nice with only very minor handling wear. Some very minor soiling to spine area. Tiny closed tear bottom edge. Please see and enlarge photos and email with any questions prior to purchase. Thanks! |
