Seeing Eye Dog Trainees Visit LIS

Our fourth grade students were very excited to see dogs at their morning meeting on November 12. Molly Granahan (LMS 8th grader & LIS graduate), is training a dog who she hopes will graduate from The Seeing Eye program. Her brother, Jack, is a 4th grade student at LIS.


The Seeing Eye is the oldest existing guide dog school in the world, and their campus is just outside Morristown, NJ.

Molly & Jack Granahan explained what breeds make the best seeing eye dogs.
If Molly's dog, Wren, is successful, she will leave the Granahan family in about a year to become a certified Seeing Eye dog.

Seeing eye dogs must be very good at following directions.
