A puppy who became a true American hero.

The blind boy who let nothing stop him.

When they finally grew up and met, it was magic.

On September 11, 2001, a blind man escaped the World Trade Center by walking down 78 flights of stairs with his guide dog.

Days later, America fell in love with Mike and Roselle, and the special bond that helped them survive.

Mike shared his story in the New York Times bestselling book, Thunder Dog.

Now, in Running With Roselle, kids can follow Roselle as she grows from an energetic yellow Lab prone to stealing her puppy raiser's slippers to a confident guide dog who passes the ultimate test when her partner needs her most.

Meet Mike, a boy blind from birth who excels in public school, shocks the neighbors by riding his bicycle through the streets of Palmdale, CA, drives a car around his college campus, and uses his relationship of trust and teamwork with Roselle to help others on a day that changed America forever.

About the Author: Michael Hingson wrote the runaway bestseller, Thunder Dog: The True Story of a Blind Man, His Guide Dog, and the Triumph of Trust at Ground Zero.

He lives on the water in Novato, California with his wife, Karen, his guide dog, Africa, and Africa's mother Fantasia.

When he isn't traveling the world with Africa speaking and teaching, he enjoys playing with his dogs, cooking, and helping Karen with her quilting business.
