Amit Patel was working as a trauma doctor when he lost his sight. Totally dependent on others and terrified of stepping outside with a white cane after a horrifying assault, he hit rock bottom. A guide dog was suggested - but how could he trust his life to an animal only one step removed from a wolf? Kika's stubbornness almost put her guide dog training in jeopardy. It would take the right person to handle her larger-than-life personality. As Amit learned more about Kika, he realized how extraordinary she was, and that she kept him safe every day. Now he just needed Kika to warm to his wife ... Kika & Me is a charming and moving account of Amit's journey. Thanks to one dedicated dog he lives an ordinary life, working as a disability rights campaigner and being an active father to his two young children. And in Kika he and his family have a much-loved best friend. Book jacket.
