Seeing Eye Dogs - A Brief History
Excerpt : You have no doubt seen a blind person being lead across a busy intersection by a Seeing Eye dog. These functional companions have been used to help handicapped people become independent for years.
You have no doubt seen a blind person being lead across a busy
intersection by a Seeing Eye dog. These functional companions
have been used to help handicapped people become independent for
years. Nobody knows exactly when the concept of a Seeing Eye dog
came into existence but it has been suggested that dogs have
been used in such a capacity in various cultures for a very long
time. It is known, however, that there was no formal guide dog
program in existence

Why German Shepherds?
Many people have probably wondered why guide dogs and Seeing Eye
dogs are so often German Shepherds. There are two reasons.
First, the German Shepherd has a strong sense of loyalty to its
owner, giving it natural protective tendencies. Having a very
protective dog as a companion is an obvious asset for someone
who may otherwise be easily attacked by someone with bad
intentions. The

second reason is far simpler; the first guide
dogs for the blind and visually impaired were trained in Germany
to provided assistance for those blinded in the war.
After the end of World War I, Germany was in a state of
financial depression. Many private businesses failed and the
Potsdam, Germany school that trained the guide dogs for the
blind was one of them.
The Seeing Eye was born
An American woman named Dorothy Eustis had

heard about the
program and decided it was a very worthwhile endeavor. Because
she owned a company that was training German Shepherds as
working dogs, she decided she might try to train guide dogs for
the blind. She did not start this right away, however. In fact
she was still considering the possibilities when she wrote a
story for The Saturday Evening Post about the potential for
guide dogs for the blind.
A Nashville man named Morris Frank had

heard the story and
decided to get in touch with Ms. Eustis and ask her to train a
dog for him. She did and Mr. Frank became known as the first
blind person to use a guide dog.
As part of an arrangement he'd made with Ms. Eustis, Mr. Frank
started training guide dogs in the United States. The foundation
that Mr. Frank started was named "The Seeing Eye" and the dogs
that were used were dubbed Seeing Eye dogs.
Today guide dogs are trained

to assist people with many
different disabilities. There are Hearing Ear dogs to assist the
deaf and other dogs that assist the physically disabled. All of
the people who have benefited from the use of a guide dog,
however, owe their thanks to Mr. Morris Frank of Nashville,
Tennessee.
