EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures the moment of connection between Morris Frank of Tennessee and his faithful companion, Buddy, the first guide dog trained in Switzerland by Dorothy Eustis in 1927. Buddy, a German Shepherd, was more than just a pet to Morris, who was blind. He was a lifeline, a companion, and a partner in navigating the world. Morris and Dorothy Eustis were pioneers in the field of guide dogs for the blind. Together, they founded The Seeing Eye organization in New Jersey, USA, with the mission to provide specially trained guide dogs to those in need. But their journey began in Switzerland, where Dorothy learned the techniques of training guide dogs from the Germans. The photograph shows Morris, with a determined expression on his face, holding Buddy's harness as they prepare to embark on a new journey together. Buddy, with his keen senses and unwavering loyalty, would lead Morris through unfamiliar terrain and help him navigate the complexities of everyday life. The history of this photograph is rich with significance. It represents a turning point in the lives of Morris and Buddy, as well as the beginning of a new era in the lives of countless individuals with visual impairments. The image is a testament to the transformative power of the human-animal bond and the importance of companionship and independence for those who are blind. This photograph, taken in 1927, is a historical document that captures a moment of hope and determination in the face of adversity. It is a reminder of the progress that has been made in the field of guide dogs for the blind and the continued need for organizations like The Seeing Eye to provide essential services to those in need.
