I agree, three of my dogs have actually been Seeing Eye dogs, but my first
was from Guide dogs for the blind in San Rafael, and now I'm owner/training
a dog. I don't object to whatever people call them, just as long as they
recognize what rights we have.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] OT: Service/guide dogs
Hi, Cindy. Guide dog, dog guide...that's all fine, as is service dog,
because that includes all dogs that perform some kind of service. Yes, The
Seeing Eye is the training school. It's funny, though, because depending on
where you are, sometimes, people call all guide dogs Leader Dogs for the
school in Michigan, Seeing Eye dogs for the school in New Jersey...it
depends on where you are, I guess, but it's always safer to call a guide dog
a guide dog or a dog guide. That includes any school. Some people will
really go off on a tangent about that if someone in the sighted public calls
their dog a Seeing Eye dog. I don't. I pick and choose my battles, I guess,
and that one just isn't worth tackling for me right now. I have more
important things to object to. *smile* Take care.

Thanks, E. I appreciate the tip. In the Duncan Maclain
stories Seeing Eye is capitalized, and the training
school is New Jersey is credited--it's where Maclain
got his Schnucke. I think, though, for most sighted
people, at least older people the term seeing eye dog
has become the term for all guide dogs, much like
Kleenex is used for facial tissue and Scotch tape for
all of that type of tape. I will remember, however, to
use the service dog--unless guide dog is okay to use
(it's shorter).
