This Book is a man's story about living with depression.
Key points in this story include:
- I had reached the top of my profession of nearly 30 years as a seeing eye dog instructor.
- I had travelled Australia and the world extensively, sharing and gathering knowledge and experience on how best to train dog guides and their blind handlers.
- It was a career full of love and devotion to my profession when the black dog came to visit and depression struck.
- I didn’t realise that I had paid a price for so many long years of service: a price that was worth it but had changed my life forever.
- The black dog visits less often now, however from the depths of despair my life is slowly turning around.
