Tommy: A Story of Ability

by Vicky Kaseorg

Tommy was born blind and deaf, and left to be disposed of in an animal shelter drop box. This true story, told from the perspective of the dog and the rescuer is filled with unexpected hope and joy. In this charming children's book with its magnificent illustrations, Tommy teaches us all how to embrace life and not its restrictions; to savor its possibilities. Ultimately, Tommy refuses to be defined by what he cannot do and reminds us that all of us were created with purpose and worth.

Very sweet story of a blind and deaf puppy rescued from death. Told through the puppy and The Gentle One. It makes my heart ache that humans think a puppy should die simply because it's blind and deaf. It's not their fault and the puppy just wants what other dogs want...a warm home and love. He will return that love with more love than we could ever give him...his love is unconditional!

This is a very short story about a dog named Tommy who was bred to be a white Doberman, but as often is the case with breeding, he became deaf and blind. He was fortunate because he found a home, and while there isn't a lot more to this story, I was reminded that happiness and love is really all that anyone needs, as well as a place to call home.

A wonderful story about a blind and deaf dog. Scheduled for death, no one would want him. But someone did and it's a great story. Easy and fast read. I enjoyed it.

This was the sweetest story I've read this year by far! It's such a heartfelt book! I can't wait until I can share it with others. It's very thought out and also wonderfully written.

One my msg seems like something to deal with. And to stop whining about. I had a Boston terrier who was blind but the best friend I have ever had
