Levin came to write this book, when after a decade in human ophthalmic nursing she left that field to manage an ophthalmic veterinary clinic. Here, she was able to meld her knowledge of ophthalmology with her love of dogs, developing badly needed educational materials for clients. Levin took the opportunity to meet many blind dogs and talk with their owners.
Caroline Levin is also an award-winning dog trainer. She has an in-depth understanding of canine behavior and the methods used to successfully train dogs. She shows her dogs in obedience competitions and the new sport of musical canine freestyle.
Dog owners wondered how they were going to deal with this problem. It became clear, that while there was nothing more that could be done to help the dog's eyesight, there was much more that could be done to help the dog...and his owner!
I realized that both of these individuals needed help adjusting to blindness. The dog was one of the "patients". He needed to learn new skills in order to maintain a good quality of life. The owner was another patient. He often needed to help understanding what was happening, and in dealing with his sorrow. In addition, the owner needed to be a teacher and a cheerleader. He was going to have to help his dog learn these new skills. These are the reasons I wrote this book.
My first goal was to help people deal with the sorrow they felt when their dog was diagnosed as blind. The second goal was to provide dog-owners with an understanding of the physical conditions that cause blindness. And lastly, I wanted to provide blind dogs with new skills that would allow them enjoy the fullest, richest life possible.
