America's Vet Dogs

Week of March 31, 2008

America's Vet Dogs provide guide, service and therapy dogs to disabled veterans throughout the country and is a new program from the Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind, Inc. The organization trains and supplies guide dogs for the visually impaired veteran and service dogs for those who have disabilities other than blindness. In addition, training on Trekker, an orientation aid that uses GPS technology and digital maps to help blind and visually impaired people navigate unfamiliar territory, is also offered.
