Essay / Research Paper Abstract
3 pages in length. Sight is one of the primary senses that far too many people take for granted; being able to see is as automatic as being able to breathe. However, some people do not have the "luxury" of vision, inasmuch as they were born blind or have since lost their sight. The opportunity for a relatively normal, quality-filled life is often directly related to whether or not the blind individual has people nearby to help all throughout the day, yet even this restricts the individual's sense of personal freedom. This is where seeing eye dogs play an integral role by performing many menial tasks that other people would do, as well as give the blind person a renewed sense of independence. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

that crowds and traffic have no longer any terrors for him and that his evenings can be spent among friends without responsibility or burden to them..." (Eustis, 1927, p. PG).
Temperament is paramount to being a seeing eye dog, with German shepherds, Labradors and golden retrievers the top three breeds typically trained for this tremendous responsibility. Chosen because
of their specific abilities, all three of these breeds perform their duties with love and enthusiasm (Mohr, 1994). The training is rigorous but
rewarding in the sense that dogs respond to positive reinforcement to reinforce learned behaviors. This multi-step process begins early in the puppys life in order to acclimate the young
dog to typical sights and sounds he will hear after he is placed with a blind individual, which takes place within the loving home of a volunteer puppy-raiser. Basic
