Guide Dogs were the first type of service animals in the community. Guide Dogs also known as Dog Guides were used back in the late 1920’s for WWI Veterans in Germany. An American living in Europe at the time, Dorothy Eustis, brought that concept to this country, and with the valuable assistance of Morris Frank (blind) – founder of the Seeing Eye Inc. and Jack Humphries.
The Seeing Eye Inc. was the first formalized dog guide program of its type in the USA. These dogs are trained to assist those with visual impairments in navigating around obstacles (low and high) and crossing busy streets.
The most common breeds at the time were German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers and Labrador Retrievers. Nevertheless over the years since the role of the canine in aiding individuals with disabilities has expanded the use of these Service Animals also expanded whether a person has a physical or mental disability (visual or invisible disability).
Service dogs may be any breed, size or colour. They might sometimes wear identifying equipment such as a harness, backpack, cape or a special collar and leash.
