Patricia Cornwell adds Guide Horse in Novel, Isle of Dogs
Patricia Cornwell, author of the NY Times #1 bestseller Black Notice and newly released The Last Precinct has incorporated a blind character with a guide horse in her best-selling novel Isle of Dogs. Ms. Cornwell visited the Guide Horse Foundation in Kittrell for research and walked blindfolded with "Twinkie" on NBC news in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Patricia Cornwell was very impressed with the abilities of a Guide Horse and generously donated six horses to the Guide horse program. Cuddles was the first Guide Horse placed into fulltime service as a personal Guide for Dan Shaw of Ellsworth, Maine.
