A guide dog was leading a “blind” man down a sidewalk. I was about 20 feet away. Suddenly a van pulled a U-turn in the middle of the street–its front left tire ran up on the curb, about a foot from the guide dog. I yelled. The dog, Cindy, stopped and remained calm. I had “accidentally” run into a training exercise for the Seeing Eye which is headquartered in Morristown, N..J., where I grew up. Brian, the trainer, said that Cindy, a yellow lab, is almost two and is doing great.
