The movement to train seeing eye dogs began after World War I in Germany, when many soldiers were returning home with injuries that left them blinded. The concept was to train dogs (in this case, German Shepherds), to guide the blind person out in public safely.

The American Women's Voluntary Services (AWVS) was instrumental in the founding of Guide Dogs for the Blind to aid blinded veterans.
