Dear Fellow Guide Dog Handlers,

Thank you all for the incredible response to The Seeing Eye’s advocacy survey. In less than five days, we have received nearly 500 responses 
from around the United States and Canada. I’m pleased with the 
support we’ve received so far and would like to urge those who have not taken the survey to participate. Don’t forget, it is open to all guide dog users in the U.S. and Canada. Those who take the survey before January 7, 2011, will be entered into a raffle to win a $100 gift card.If you have started the survey and saved it to return later, please access the survey using the link you received in survey gizmo’s email. If you have not yet taken the survey, please visit http://alturl.com/a5kcg or call 1-800-539-4425 and ask for extension 1520.
For your convenience, I have included my original email about the survey, which explains why your participation is so important and the impact we hope the results of this survey will make.
Sincerely, 

Jim Kutsch

My letter from Dec. 13, 2010: 

Dear Fellow Guide Dog Handlers, 

One of the biggest dangers we face as we 
travel with our guide dogs is attacks or interference from 
aggressive dogs. In an attempt to help increase awareness of 
this problem and the importance of responsible dog ownership for the pet owning public, The Seeing Eye has launched a survey across the U.S. and Canada that will take an in-depth look at dog attacks and interference. 

The survey is open to all guide dog handlers in the United States and Canada 
and we will share our summary results upon request. We’re 
using an online service that we know to be user friendly for 
screen readers, so we strongly encourage you to participate 
and tell any other guide dog users you know about this 
opportunity by forwarding this email or sharing the call-in 
number. 

It’s very important that we get responses from people who have not encountered problems with other dogs as well as those who have, no matter which school their dogs are 
from. The data we collect from the survey will be essential in 
making our case with law enforcement and animal control 
officers as well as with legislators as we urge them to enact 
or strengthen laws to protect guide dog teams. The survey will 
take between 5 to 20 minutes depending on your answers. You 
may access the survey at the following link: http://alturl.com/a5kcg

For those of you who can't or don't want to take the survey 
online, you can call The Seeing Eye's main number, 
800-539-4425, and ask for extension 1520. You will be asked to 
leave your name and phone number, and a volunteer will call 
you to conduct the survey by telephone. The preferred method though is to take the survey online, so I ask you to utilize 
that method if at all possible. 

All those who respond 
by Friday, January 7, 2011, will be entered in a raffle to win 
a $100 gift card. 

Thank you all, in advance, for helping us to better understand the scope of the issue  and to work toward a solution to dog interference and dog attacks. 

Sincerely, 

Jim Kutsch 
President & CEO 
The Seeing Eye, Inc.
