Best Answer

"Seeing Eye" is a trademark for The Seeing Eye, a guide dog training school in the U.S. It was founded in 1929. Only dogs trained by the Seeing Eye can properly be called "Seeing Eye dogs."

Guide dogs in general have been trained since at least as early as the middle ages.

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.
