Access & Advocacy

Since 1929, The Seeing Eye has advocated on behalf of people with guide dogs to go anywhere in public.

Morris Frank: Leading the Way

“Before Buddy lay down her pioneering harness, I would like to be able to say that she had made it possible for all guide dogs following her to travel by land and sea and air to lead their blind charges wherever in this wide, wide country they cared or needed to go.”

A Seeing Eye graduate is guided by her Seeing Eye dog, a yellow Labrador retriever, inside a shopping mall.

The app, for iOS and Android, has information for service dog handlers, guide dog mobility instructors, puppy raisers, business owners, rideshare drivers, and people who have pets who might encounter service dog teams.
