                  ***Update on dog attack survey. Please forward to other guide dog handlers in the United States and Canada*** 


                  Dear Fellow Guide Dog Handlers,  
                  To date, we have received more than 770 responses to The Seeing Eye’s dog attack and interference survey. I’m pleased to announce that Art Chambers of Galloway, Ohio, was selected in the drawing for the $100 gift card that was offered to those who responded to the survey on or before January 7. 

                  I extend my sincere thanks to those who have not only taken the survey, but who have helped spread awareness by passing the survey along to other guide dog users. While we have received responses from all over the United States, we are looking for more responses from guide dog users in Canada. Please help us reach a wider audience by forwarding this email along to any guide dog handlers that you know. The survey will remain open through January 19. 

                  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: 

                  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
