<P>It looks as though the school is starting some sort of<BR>puppy raising
initiative with this community college. <BR><BR>Tuesday<BR>September 18,

the Hudson to the Catskills!<BR><BR>Guiding Eyes for the Blind open school for
seeing eye<BR>dogs in Orange County<BR><BR>Middletown – Yorktown Heights-based
Guiding Eyes for<BR>the Blind will be opening a dog training school
at<BR>Morrison Hall at the Orange County Community College<BR>Middletown
campus.<BR><BR>Officials from the internationally renowned
non-profit<BR>agency and county leaders Tuesday announced the<BR>arrangement,
which will see dogs trained for guide<BR>duty for blind or visually impaired
people. The first<BR>class will begin on October 12.<BR><BR>Orange County
Executive Edward Diana credited college<BR>President Dr. William Richards for
taking the<BR>opportunity to house the guiding eyes school at
the<BR>college.<BR><BR>Guiding Eyes breeds 500 puppies per year and puts
out<BR>150 teams of dogs and clients per year. That totals<BR>about 6,000
Guiding Eyes teams around the world.<BR><BR>“We will be training volunteers
how to socialize and<BR>train puppies from about four weeks old to about
14<BR>months old to prepare them to become Guiding Eyes<BR>dogs,” said
Director of Outreach Deutsch.<BR><BR>Recipients of Guiding Eyes dogs pay
nothing; funding<BR>comes from corporate and private
contributions.<BR><BR>HEAR today's news on<BR>MidHudsonRadio.<WBR>com,<BR>the
