History...
The history of guide dogs? While there has been a long history of guide dogs assisting people who are blind, it was not until after World War 1 that a formal dog guide program was developed. A School in Pottsdam Germany trained German shepherds as guides for blinded veterans of the war, but did not stay in existence for very long. However, an American women living in Switzerland learned of the program and ultimately advanced the modern dog guide movement in the US. Her name was Dorothy Harrison Eustis and she was a wealthy Philadelphian experimenting with the training of German shepherds as working dogs. But it was not until after she wrote an article about the Pottsdam school which appeared in November 5th, 1927 edition of The Saturday Evening Post that she had any cause to incorporate guide dog training for her dogs.
