EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the inspiring moment when Morris Frank, an American blind man, guides his devoted seeing eye dog, Buddy I, across a bustling road in the 1930s. Buddy I was the first officially recognized guide dog in the United States, marking a pivotal turning point in the lives of visually impaired individuals. Morris Frank, a native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, had lost his sight due to a bout of scarlet fever at the age of three. Despite his disability, he refused to be defined by it and sought ways to maintain his independence. In 1927, he met Dorothy Harrison Eustis, a journalist from The Saturday Evening Post, who was writing a story about German shepherd guide dogs in Europe. Frank was intrigued by the concept and, with Eustis's help, brought Buddy I, a German Shepherd, from Europe to be his seeing eye dog. The photograph shows Frank and Buddy I, both focused and determined, as they navigate the busy intersection. A taxi driver, aware of the significance of the duo, stops and waits patiently for them to cross. The image encapsulates the teamwork, courage, and determination of this pioneering pair, who broke barriers and paved the way for the widespread acceptance and use of guide dogs in America. Buddy I's legacy extended beyond Frank's personal life, as the pair's story captured the public's imagination and brought attention to the potential of guide dogs as companions and assistants for the blind. This photograph is a testament to their groundbreaking partnership and the profound impact they had on the lives of countless individuals with visual impairments.
