Description: Trusting Calvin by Sharon Peters Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The touching story of Holocaust survivor Max Edelman, who witnessed a German Shepherd killing a fellow prisoner and developed a decades-long fear of dogs, but whose blindness would later require the assistance of a guide dog. Enter Calvin, a chocolate Labrador retriever who guided Max to greater openness, trust, and engagement with the world. Publisher Description Max Edelman was just 17 when the Nazis took him to the first of five work camps, where his only hope of survival was to keep quiet and raise an emotional shield. After witnessing a German Shepherd kill a fellow prisoner, he developed a lifelong fear of dogs. Beaten into blindness by two bored guards, Max survived, buried the past, and moved on. But when he retired, he needed help. After a month of training, he received Calvin, a devoted chocolate Labrador retriever. Calvin guided Max safely through life, but he sensed Maxs distance and reserve. Calvin grew listless and lost weight. Trainers intervened—but to no avail. A few days before Calvins inevitable reassignment, Max went for a walk. A car cut into the crosswalk, and Calvin leapt forward, saving Maxs life. Maxs emotional shield dissolved. Calvin sensed the change and immediately improved, guiding Max to greater openness, trust, and engagement with the world. Here is the remarkable, touching story of a man who survived history and the dog that unlocked his heart.
