Kika & Me

‘I live an ordinary life thanks to one extraordinary dog. Kika opened up the world to me again. She’s made what once seemed impossible possible.'

In 2013, Amit was working as a trauma doctor in London when a rare condition caused him to lose his sight within thirty-six hours.

His life changed forever. Struggling to make even a cup of tea and terrified of stepping outside, he hit rock bottom and refused to leave home on his own for three months.

Then his guide dog Kika came into his life . . . Kika’s larger-than-life personality proved to be a perfect match for Amit and together they started on their journey, learning how to trust each other before taking to the streets of London and beyond.

With a new best friend by his side, Amit found a renewed lease of life, as well as the courage to share the traumatic incidents he’d experienced since his diagnosis. After an upsetting experience on the Tube went viral, Amit and Kika set out to spread a message of positivity and inclusivity, determined that nothing would hold them back.

 From losing your sight overnight to becoming a parent for the first time – Kika & Me is the moving, heartwarming story of one man and his guide dog’s journey through the pitfalls and challenges of life.
