CLEARLAKE – Lake County's own Carolyn Wing Greenlee and her guide dog, Hedy, will be featured at a book signing event at Wild About Book in Clearlake on Saturday, Aug. 1.

The event will begin at 2 p.m.

A past Lake County Poet Laureate, Greenlee's newest book is “A Gift of Dogs: Living with Blindness and Making Friends.”

Hedy came into Greenlee's life as she was losing her sight.

“A Gift of Dogs” tells their story, as well as the stories of many other people whose lives have been enriched and expanded through the work and devotion of assistance dogs.

In the book's acknowledgments Greenlee writes to Hedy, “You're worth more than a million kibble to me.”

Meet them both at Wild About Books on Aug. 1.

Wild About Books is located at 14290 Olympic Drive, Clearlake, telephone 707-994-9453. Visit the store online at www.wildaboutbooks.net .
