Yes. It spawned the Seeing Eye Organization.

One of the founders of The Seeing Eye was America's first guide dog owner, Nashville resident Morris Frank. Frank was trained with German Shepherd Dog Buddy in Switzerland in 1928.

In 1927, Morris Frank, as a blind man had written Mrs. Dorothy Eustis, and arrived in Switzerland. While there, Mrs. Eustis picked and trained Buddy, a young German Shepherd, to become the first "Seeing Eye Dog" in the United States.

In 1929, Dorothy Eustis returned to the United States. Helped by Morris Frank and Buddy, The Seeing Eye, she established "The Seeing Eye," the pioneer guide dog school in the United States.

Mr. Frank renamed every dog that replaced his original "Buddy", to "Buddy" no matter the gender or original name.
