A day in the life piece from a blind college student and his guide dog. The listener gets a sense of how scary it must be to negotiate busy roads without sight, as the trucks and cars thunder along en route to classes; and how being sightless throws up barriers beyond the obvious visual ones.

This is a free flowing piece, which has some intriguing parts, but also left this listener feeling a bit disoriented and wanting to know more. Despite the personal nature of this piece I was left without a true sense of the subject or his dog, or the bond between them.

It's length makes it amenable to airing with other pieces as part of a show on disabilites, student life or animals. HW.
