The Leading Lady was originally published in hardcover in 1991 and on abridged audio cassette those were the days! in 1992. The star of The Leading Lady - as Betty and Tom would both attest - is Dinah, Tom Sullivans guide dog and best friend for nine years. A world-class guide dog, Dinah gave Tom, who has been blind since soon after birth, his first real taste of independence. The Leading Lady is the story of how Dinah came into Toms life, the hard work they both put in to become a team, and the adventures that cemented the bond between them. Its also the story of how Betty White - a renowned and extremely vocal activist on behalf of animal rights, and a dear life-long friend of Toms - took Dinah in and cared for her when she became too old to care for Tom herself.
