| Today I received a message from the President and CEO of The Seeing Eye, asking me as a graduate and supporter to spread his message to anyone who knows of a person who has enjoyed the dignity and independence of the partnership with a Seeing eye ® dog. As a reader of this blog, you do know one, so I’m passing that message on to you. The back story is that the New Jersey Legislature has unanimously agreed to make the Seeing Eye dog its State Dog. We graduates have been blessed with having these loving, intelligent, obedient, and beautiful dogs as guides since 1933, and the training has happened in NJ for more years than most of us have been alive. We need your help in supporting this bill by asking the Governor of NJ to do the right things and sign it. Here’s the letter. Thanks for reading it and acting upon it.
New JerseyJoin me in asking @Governor Murphy to sign the bill S2849/A4590 to recognize the Seeing Eye® dog as state dog of NJ by calling 609-292-6000. More than 17k partnerships have been made between people & Seeing Eye dogs in the last 90 years and we think Seeing Eye ® Dogs are an important part of NJ’s heritage. |
