According to her great-grandniece, Keller Johnson-Thompson, she had several pet dogs but no guide dog: "Although Helen had many dogs throughout her lifetime, she never used any of them as dog guides, as many blind people do today. But as she made her way through her gardens later in life, several dogs could always be seen at her side. Some of these dogs included a Great Dane named Belle, a Scottie named Darkie, German Shepherds, Collies, and even a Dachshund named Sunshine."

What is the name of Helen kellers Boston terrier?
This must be a Hollywood convention. She did not have any pets as a child- what with the handicaps. Furthermore, I have never heard of a Boston Terrier used as a Guide Dog or seeing-eye dog for Bllind People ( Most are Shepherds) decades later, in the l930"s she did have an Akita, a breed not normally used for Guide-Dog service, which casts some suspicious angles.

What did Helen Keller name her dog?
A bit of research turned up that Ms Keller's first dog was a Japanese Akita named Kamikaze-Go, which she was given during a trip to Japan in the late 1930's. When, unfortunately, Kamikaze died in 1938, she was presented with his older brother, Kenzan-go, by the Japanese government, as a replacement.
Can an Belgian Malinois be a guide dog?
Any type of dog can be a service dog. The most common service dog breed is the Labrador Retriever. It also depends on the temperament of the dog. For example, you would not want a highly energetic dog who does not listen to commands to become a service dog. A dog should be properly trained and (and possibly certified) to become a service dog.
