The moving true story of Dr Amit Patel, who lost his sight in just thirty-six hours and Kika, the guide dog who changed his life.
In 2013, Amit was training to be a trauma surgeon when a condition called keratoconus caused him to lose his sight within thirty-six hours. His life changed forever. Struggling to make even a cup of tea and terrified of stepping outside with a white cane after a number of traumatic travel experiences, he refused to leave home on his own for three months. Until his Guide Dog Kika came along . . .
Matched with her in just six weeks, Amit and Kika started on a journey together, learning how to trust each other before taking to the streets of London and beyond. The partnership would not only give him a renewed lease of life but a new best friend.
From the difficulties of visual impairment to becoming a parent for the first time, Kika and Me is the moving, heart-warming story of how one guide dog changed Amit's life. |
