Subject: Seeing Eye's Dog Ownership Policy


Dear Seeing Eye Graduates,

As you may be aware, guide dog ownership has been a frequent discussion 
topic on e-mail lists recently. The Seeing Eye’s long-standing policy hasn’t 
changed – when you successfully complete the program, you own the dog. The 
full text of our ownership policy follows.

Dave Johnson, Director of Instruction and Training

The Seeing Eye, Inc. Ownership Policy

Following a student’s successful graduation from the training programs 
required by The Seeing Eye, the graduated student: (i) is granted full 
ownership rights over his or her Seeing Eye® dog and (ii) assumes full 
responsibility for the obligations and risks associated with ownership of 
his or her Seeing Eye dog, including the obligation to properly feed, 
shelter, and care for his or her Seeing Eye dog. The Seeing Eye Inc. does 
ask that harnesses be returned to the school upon retirement of any Seeing 
Eye dog.

In the rare instances that The Seeing Eye Inc. becomes aware of allegations 
of abuse after a graduated student has assumed ownership responsibility of 
his or her Seeing Eye dog, The Seeing Eye Inc. contacts the graduated 
student and may further assess the allegations. In the event that animal 
abuse or neglect is proven, The Seeing Eye Inc. defers to local enforcement 
authorities, including local humane societies, who generally possess the 
legal authority to remove the animal from the abusive environment.
