From this terrible experience, they decided to educate the general public on what a guide dog or assistance dog's job is and how disabled persons need to be treated in society. The Eameses have two golden retriever guide dogs, Escort and Echo. Guide dogs help their blind and visually impaired owners to move more securely in their environment without worrying about getting hurt. The dogs stop at curbs and steps, move around obstacles, locate entrances and exits, and avoid moving objects such as cars, bicycles, and people. I enjoy the constant companionship and attention the dogs bring.
Dogs have a way of bringing people out.
Dr. and Ms. Eames have visited all of the 27 veterinary colleges in the United States at least once. This was their third visit to K-State. Last year they expanded their lectures to Ross University and St. George's University in the Caribbean. As airplane passengers, Escort and Echo travel in the passenger section of the plane with their partners. The dogs remember all of the different places they travel.
