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).
