Sheila Hocken is a writer and canine specialist. She is best known for her book ''Emma & I'' (1978), an autobiography that details her growing up as a blind child, her relationship with her chocolate Labrador retriever guide dog, Emma, and her regaining her sight as a young woman through surgery. She is a very ambitious woman to say the least. Her story is very touching, especially to animal lovers - in particular, dog lovers. Sheila and Emma go through many different obstacles together, both sad and happy. Sheila is a very admirable woman, because of her several jobs and blindness (before she was cured) - she stated the difficulties in depth, raising awareness about blind people in each book. 1984 TV film, ''Second Sight: A Love Story'', starring Elizabeth Montgomery, is based on the book. Hocken became actively involved in the canine world as a dog trainer in Nottingham, England. ==Books== *''Emma and I'' (1978) ISBN 0-7089-0322-3 *''Emma V.I.P.''
