Mandy the Seeing Eye dog guides blind Scottish woman
Janet Melling of Edinburgh, blind from birth, trains with Mandy a German shepherd after joining the Wallasey school. The dog leads her safely through crowds and traffic, detours around hazards, and helps her navigate streets and transit, earning fame across Europe and boosting support for guide dog programs. The column also notes a Montclair, New Jersey man who built a canine diet-delivery business guided by his Seeing Eye dog.
