Discover Seeing Eye Services at the Ocean County Library Stafford Branch
STAFFORD TOWNSHIP – Nearly 100 years ago, an exchange between a Swiss woman training dogs to assist blinded war veterans and a young sightless American led to the creation of The Seeing Eye®. Learn about this pioneering New Jersey organization and meet trainers and dogs at the Ocean County Library Stafford Branch, 6 PM Thursday, May 29.
Based in Morris Township, The Seeing Eye® is the world’s oldest organization that specializes in breeding and training dogs to guide people who have no sight. The 501(c)(3) nonprofit group also takes an active role in forming public policy for accommodating people with service animals.
Trainers will illustrate how puppies are bred, selected and raised to perform specific functions and how recipients are taught to care for and handle the canines that bring independence to people who cannot see.
