The first person in North America to
use a dog guide, Frank co-founded,
with Dorothy Eustis, The Seeing Eye in
1929. The organization is based on the
philosophy that limitless possibilities
who
exist within the lives of people are
blind. He was almost single-handedly responsible for
the passage of initial legislation relevant to dog guide
access in every state and province. His book. First Lady
of the Seeing Eye, co-written with Blake Clark, was the
famous story of Buddy, his first dog guide.
