Based on true life events, "Ike: the dog who saved a human," follows the transformative journey of author Jason Dorland, a Canadian national team rower left bitter, ashamed, and lost after his crew finished last in their final at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, Korea. Dorland retires from rowing and as a way to cope, adopts a golden retriever puppy named Ike, who is destined to be a guy dog for the blind. While Dorland struggles to redefine himself and find a new purpose in his life, Ike takes on a new role. Removed from the guide dog program at nine months for health reasons, Ike becomes Jason's own guide dog-his teacher. Through many adventures together Dorland eventually discovers that love is not something you chase but something you give away
