Tom Sullivan, best-selling author of If You Could See What I Hear, made his mark as a multitalented performer, songwriter, and lecturer. Of course, the late Emmy award-winning actress Betty White needs no introduction. But the real star of this heartwarming story is an extraordinary dog named Dinah. For nine years this beautiful golden retriever was Tom's best friend, his right arm – and his eyes. A world-class guide dog, Dinah gave Tom, a man blind since birth, his first real taste of independence. And she gave his entire family – wife Patty, daughter Blythe, and son Tom, Jr. – unfaltering loyalty and love. Together, Tom and Dinah traveled this entire country countless times, as she led him safely through crowded airport terminals, city traffic, strange hotels, and onstage performances. But when Dinah reached the age of eleven, she began to lose her edge. Her eyes were no longer as sharp, her step not as sure. The once-assured guide dog became defensive and hesitant. Dinah, however, was not ready to settle into a life of leisure in the Sullivan household while a young interloper took over her job and her master. Yet Dinah's story was to have a whole new beginning…and her name was Betty White. In The Leading Lady, Tom Sullivan and Betty White, close friends for years, take turns talking about Dinah, their special golden girl. They recount how the supercanine came into Tom's life to become a team; and the adventures – some traumatic, some joyful – that cemented the bond between them. Here, too, is how Betty rescued this gallant lady in distress and how caring, courageous Dinah became a full-fledged member of Betty's family overnight, with a brand-new job to do. Most of all, here is the story of Dinah, a dog who made a positive difference in every life she touched.
