Broadmoor Guide Dog |
|
| |
no.010 2009-05-16 rev |
 |
||
| This 11 inch unmarked
guide dog has Broadmoor's successful oxblood glaze. The
Collector's Encyclopedia of Colorado Pottery shows
the same German shephard incised "Gretchen" with a Denver
foil label. |
||
| Dorothy Eustis and Morris Frank organized
the first guide dog training school in the U.S. in Nashville. The
Seeing Eye was established in 1929, just a few years before
Broadmoor opened in the Springs. After returning from Europe in 1928,
Mr. Frank "traveled around the United States telling people about the
dogs and how they could help others". (minipage) |

2011 addition: Gretchen-marked
guide dog |
||
 |
||
| This Broadmoor-Denver guide dog with a
gunmetal glaze and nice foil label has the
incised "Gretchen" mentioned above. |
||
 |
||
| "Gretchen" in quotes is probably the guide dog's name. | ||
