  • Dorothy Leib Harrison Wood Eustis (May 30, 1886 – September 8, 1946) was an American dog breeder and philanthropist, who founded The Seeing Eye, the first dog guide school for the blind in the United States. She was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame in 2011. In 1927, Eustis was 41 years old and living in Switzerland where she bred German Shepherds as police dogs when she wrote an article for The Saturday Evening Post, a popular weekly magazine. The piece described a German dog guide training school for blind veterans of the First World War and sparked a flood of mail, including a letter from a 20-year-old blind man named Morris Frank who promised to help set up a similar school in the United States if Eustis would train him to use a dog guide. Eustis invited Frank to Switzerland, where he spent five weeks learning to work with Buddy, the first of his six dog guides (all named Buddy). A year later, in December 1928, Eustis and Frank launched The Seeing Eye in Frank’s hometown of Nashville, Tennessee. Eustis’ legacy has been long-lasting. Her work helped spawn dog guide schools in the United States and around the world, and also paved the way for using service animals to help people with various disabilities. Because The Seeing Eye refused to see its students as charity cases, Eustis is also credited with helping to change public attitudes toward the disabled and contributing to the disability rights movement that began in the 1970s.

  • Dorothy Harrison Eustis (Lahir di Philadelphia tahun 1886) orang pertama yang memperkenalkan pemakaian anjing terlatih sebagai penuntun bagi orang tunanetra di Amerika Serikat. Eustis bersama suaminya, George Morris Eustis dan seorang pelatih kuda, Elliot S. (Jack) Humphrey memulai sebuah program pemeliharaan bagi anjing untuk kepolisian dan tugas angkatan bersenjata di Amerika Serikat. Eustis sadar bahwa kalangan tunanetra di Jerman berhasil menggunakan anjing penuntun yang terlatih. Eustis menulis dalam artikelnya "The Seeing Eye" yang dimuat oleh koran Saturday Evening Post tahun 1927, mendorong pemakaian anjing penuntun terlatih untuk digunakan oleh orang tunanetra. Karena keyakinannya bahwa anjing penuntun dapat membedakan antara kehidupan mandiri dan kehidupan yang tergantung bagi orang tunanetra. Eustis mendapat banyak surat dari orang-orang tunanetra terkait pemakaian anjing penuntun, sehingga didirikan sekolah untuk melatih anjing penuntun bagi orang tunanetra pertama di Amerika Serikat, tepatnya di Nashville, Tennesesee. Tahun pertama didirikannya sekolah tersebut berhasil melatih 17 orang (pria maupun wanita) beserta anjing-anjingnya, kemudian sekolah tersebut dipindahkan ke , New Jersey sampai sekarang. (in)
