Buddy: The First Seeing Eye Dog

Before Buddy, Morris was dependent on others for help getting around. When was a time you needed help getting somewhere? Write a story about it. Tell where you went and who you relied on to get there. Share your story with a parent.
Buddy changed Morris's life. Who is a character in another story who changed someone's life? Compare the two characters using a Venn diagram. Find five ways they are similar. Then find five ways they are different.
Blind people rely on sighted people to help them. The dogs completely change the lives of the blind. Since Buddy, dogs have been trained to do many different things to help people with disabilities. With a parent, research the ways dogs are trained to help people.
With a parent, research seeing eye dogs. Where are they trained? What kinds of dogs are used? What kinds of tasks are they trained to do? Make a Pinterest board or Facebook album about what you have learned.
