The Seeing Eye Graduated 274 dogs, 74 of which were new dog teams in 2009.

How many service dogs there?
There are too many programs and independent trainers to accurately count how many guide dogs are in place in the United States. However, the Seeing Eye, the most recognized program in the world that trains guide dogs has reported in their 2007 annual report that they had 1,760 graduate teams in the field. Note that not all guide dogs are trained by the Seeing Eye. There are many programs that train guide dogs, but only those trained at the Seeing Eye are properly called "Seeing Eye dogs." It is estimated there are about 20,000 Service Dog users in the US. The Seeing Eye graduated 60 new dogs in 2009. Roughly 1,500-2,000 Service dogs graduate each year, about 150-200 of those for the blind.
