The first Seeing-eye dog was a German shepherd(牧羊人) named Buddy. In Switzerland. Buddy’s owner, Mrs. Dorothy, was at first training dogs of the German shepherd brought up for police work and saving people from dangers. Then in 1927, she wrote an article for the Saturday Evening Post about dogs being trained in Germany to help blind war veterans(老兵). Morris Frank, a young blind American, heard about the article and wrote to Mrs. Dorothy to ask if there was such a dog to help him. That letter led Frank to spend five weeks in Switzerland learning to be guided by Buddy. Buddy was with Frank when he returned to the United States. Newspaper reporters were waiting for them in New York. They couldn’t believe a dog could safely guide a blind man through a modern city. Buddy surprised them by leading master across the streets through the heavy traffic. (责任编辑：admin) |
