This slideshow requires JavaScript. KENILWORTH, NJ — The Seeing Eye Inc. is a registered United States nonprofit located in Morristown. Its mission is to enhance the independence, dignity and self-confidence of blind and legally blind people through the use of Seeing Eye dogs. The Seeing Eye breeds its own German shepherds, Labrador retrievers, golden retrievers and Labrador golden crosses. When the puppies are about 8 weeks old, they are placed in the home of a volunteer puppy raiser, where each is taught basic obedience and socialization – and lots of love. When the dog is about a year old, it is returned to The Seeing Eye and begins a four-month course of training with a sighted instructor. When the dog passes this phase, it’s matched with a blind or legally blind person and they train together, with the supervision of a sighted instructor. The dog also gets its vest.
