Buddy had come with me from Switzerland where I had gone to get her. She was an educated guide and could take me safely about, despite the fact that I was blind. It was my hope that a school for dog guides could be established in the United States and that some day hundreds of blind people would have them. Conditions vastly more complex and more dangerous ln America than in Europe made any such idea doubtful. Even though several thousand such dogs had been developed for the blind of Germany they said it probably wouldn't be possible in the United States.So when Buddy and I faced the roar of traffic in West Street that day eight years ago we had a tremendous responsibility. It was with considerable trembling that I gave the command Forward. But when we stepped off the curb it seemed to me that Buddy's step was more sure than it had ever been. Trucks rumbled in front and be hind within a few inches of us. Yet Buddy was as calm as if she were at home in her quiet little Swiss village.
The traffic was so dense even in that wide street that it must have taken us at least three minutes to cross. They seemed like an hour. In all probability no other three minutes in history have been as im portant to the blind, for as each second was ticked off Buddy gave further proof that the blind of this country could be set free. When we reached the other side I was so happy I felt like shouting. I knew we had won.
