About National Seeing Eye Dog Day
Health
Ends: Jan 29, 2023
DESCRIPTION:
National Seeing-eye Dog Day celebrates seeing-eye dogs. This day marks the anniversary of the creation of The Seeing Eye on January 29, 1929, the organization that pioneered seeing-eye dogs.
Usually seeing eye dogs are Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, or German Shepherds since these are some of the most intelligent breeds capable of complex training. Additionally, these breeds tend to be calm, focused, friendly, and loyal.
Dogs have been companions of humans with disabilities since ancient Roman times, and there are records of dogs leading the blind during that era.
The first attempt to train dogs as eyes for human beings occurred in Paris in 1780 at the school for the blind.
In 1788 Josef Riesinger, blind himself, successfully trained his Spitz to be his helper in Vienna, Austria.
Guide dogs for the blind didn't take off until 1927 when Dorothy Eustis published an article in the Saturday Evening Post about her efforts in training dogs for the blind. It was read to Morris Frank, himself blind. Together Eustis and Frank went to Switzerland and trained the first official seeing-eye dog, Buddy. They established a school in Switzerland to train more dogs in 1928. Buddy was introduced to The Seeing Eye in Morristown, New Jersey, in 1929, and from there, seeing-eye dogs grew in popularity and utility.
