"Guide Dog", by Dorothy Clewes, illustrated by Peter D. Burchard published by Coward, McCann and Geoghegan, 'A Weekly Reader Children's Book Club Edition', 1966.

A story of a boy's struggle to come to terms with blindness and life, to face the future with determined hope and with a guide dog named Mick. A fun tale of a boy going blind and getting a guide dog after a bit of struggle.

"One moment nineteen-year-old Roley Rolandson was happily delivering Christmas packages along his mail route- the next, he was in the hospital virtually helpless and unable to see. All Roley could remember was a dog hitting him from behind, a blinding flash, then nothing. Faced with permanent blindness, Roley rejects everyone, until two of his friends convince him to apply for a guide dog. Roley enters the training center, where he is given Mick, the pick of the lot. The story is tense and moving and told with real insight into a tragic human problem lived out with courage." (from the Preface).
