It's called Follow My Leader by James Garfield (not the US president).

I loved it too and was lucky enough to find a copy somewhere. I still read it every years or two.

Take care!

Possibly you're thinking of "Follow My Leader"? The story sounds similar - a boy, Jimmy, is blinded by a firecracker thrown accidentally at him by another boy. Eventually a therapist named Miss Thompson teaches him braille and he goes on to get a seeing eye dog named "Leader".

Sound familar? If so and you'd like to read it again, it's available at Amazon.com.
