This was originally a three-part film for the TV series Wonderful World of Disney. It tells the story of a dog raised to be a Seeing Eye for the blind. It was filmed on location at the Seeing Eye in Morristown, NJ. The movie covers the different chapters in the dog's life: first he is raised as a puppy by a family with a young boy. Then the dog must, sadly, leave the boy, forget him, and get trained to become a Seeing Eye. Finally, the dog becomes a lifelong Seeing Eye for one master. There are complications and drama along the way. This is perhaps the only film ever made about Seeing Eye dogs, much like Disney's Almost Angels is the only film ever made about the Vienna Boys Choir. Both films are masterpieces of their kind. I get a warm feeling from this movie. It is full of lessons about life that apply to anyone, not just the blind or dog owners. Any child and many adults will be enriched by viewing this film.

A heart touching movie about the progress in development of a German Shepherd as she moves from puppy, to training to Service Dog. I throughly enjoyed it as I have four German Shepherds. I learned a lot about development and care from this video. It was a very nice side step from the frequent drivel we are confronted with. Truly this is a great FAMILY MOVIE. "Thank you", Mr Disney, I know that you are on the "left star to the right" but I sorely miss your commentaries and feel that my youthful years greatly benefited from your work in movie land.

I thought this was an excellent movie, taking the viewer from the time a puppy is raised through its training as a guide dog, all the way through it's being matched with a person. I appreciated the fact the movie brought out the ups and downs of the training, how and why a dog may not make it, and even why a mis match can occur. All in all it was not only entertaining, but a very educational movie.

Watching this movie was a real eye opener about the extensive training dogs go through to be matched to a particular blind person. I especially like the first phase when the boy had the dog for the beginning of the dog's training. The movie has appeal to individuals who love and understand dogs.

I remember watching this movie on TV's Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Disney in the 1970s, and I loved it as a kid. I have tried to find the DVD of this same movie for a while years later, and I am thrilled that Amazon.com has them now, through marketplace sellers! :) This is a wonderful movie for both kids and adults about Seeing Eye Dogs.

The movie is GREAT ! I would tell anyone who would like to know anything about the seeing eye to watch it ! Also if you LOVE dog's like I do you will LOVE it

This was a wonderful family flim to watch. It also showcase the training of guide dog and human to working together. And what it takes to work.

Watched this years ago with our kids when the Disney Channel was new. Loved it and got into raising Guide Dog puppies with 4-H because of it. Still love it. Got it to share with grandkids.
