This hour, guest host Ray Hardman takes you to Fidelco -- the guide dog school in Bloomfield, Connecticut where we meet some guide dogs in training. And we talk with guide dog users about the impact these animals have on their lives.
We also speak with author and poet Stephen Kuusisto, who’s written a memoir about his first guide dog, Corky.
