The Seeing Eye Offers Support to Eye Dog Foundation
Graduates

MORRISTOWN, N.J. - The Seeing Eye, Inc., of
Morristown, N.J., the oldest dog
guide school in North America, is stepping in to offer
support services to
graduates of the Eye Dog Foundation until the
Phoenix-based dog guide school
can re-open its doors.
Eye Dog Foundation announced earlier this month it
would temporarily close
the facility. In the interim, The Seeing Eye, with
about 1,800 active
graduates in the United States and Canada, is offering
instructional
services to Eye Dog graduates who might need follow-up
services.
"When we match a Seeing Eye dog to a student, our
commitment to that team
does not end once the 27-day training ends," explains
Seeing Eye President
Jim Kutsch. "We continue to provide assistance to
graduates during the
entire life of the partnerships with their dogs.
Sometimes a graduate will
move to a different neighborhood and require
additional training to navigate
a new and particularly difficult intersection, for
example. Or a dog that
has experienced interference from someone's pet dog
might suddenly develop a
fear of other dogs. In those and other cases, we will
send an instructor to
help the graduate resolve these issues."
Until Eye Dog Foundation is able to re-open its doors,
The Seeing Eye will
offer these services to anyone with a dog guide from
the Phoenix school.
For information on receiving these services from The
Seeing Eye, Eye Dog
graduates should call The Seeing Eye at (800) 539-4425
and ask for the
Training Department.
The Seeing Eye, established in 1929, provides
specially bred and trained
dogs to guide people who are blind. Seeing Eye dog
users experience greatly
enhanced mobility and independence, allowing them to
retain their active
lifestyles despite blindness. The Seeing Eye is a
philanthropy and is
supported by contributions from individuals,
corporations and foundations,
bequests, and other planned gifts.
