goodbye/fun facts....international guide dog day...Guide dogs
provide opportunities for social interaction and greater
independence for legally blind adults. the first reference to guide
dogs is seen in a nursery rhyme from the year 1500...it says:
“A is an Archer” ... “B was a Blind-man/Led by a dog.”
by the 1920's Guide dogs helped German soldiers following
World War I. and in 1929...the first U.S. guide dog training school
opened when Dorothy Harrison Eustis and Morris Frank started The
Seeing Eye in Tennessee. today...more than 140 million people in
the United States alone are blind or suffer from some sort of
vision impairment. Properly trained guide dogs keep them remain
safe and independent by helping them navigate everyday obstacles.
training training can be an expensive and time-consuming process.
It can take up to two years and $25,000 to fully train a single
service dog....so consider making a contribution to the guide dogs
