![]() The interesting story is how a blind man became a successful businessman and was on the 78th floor to begin with - a story told interspersed with the descent from the North Tower. While I cannot place where in the book the comment is from, Hingson states that to him the more interesting story isn’t how he and Roselle got down the stairs. Hingson frankly writes about the challenges of being a service dog handler, from the idiosyncrasies of working with animals - often trained to be intelligently disobedient to prevent their handlers from hurting themselves - to the challenges of dealing with able-bodied people. Later that day, harness on, Roselle ignores the sound of explosions and scent of jet fuel to safely guide Hingson down 1400+ stairs and through the chaos that was Ground Zero. In the wee hours of September 11th, there was a thunderstorm and Hingson woke up to a frightened dog. Michael Hingson’s highly trained service dog, off duty, is afraid of thunder. ![]() Roselle, like any service dog, is at her core still a dog. ![]() ![]() The book is titled Thunder Dog after Roselle. ![]()
