As the film depicts, American culture was apprehensive about the idea of a guide dog accompanying people in public places. The Seeing Eye also ran into many obstacles, as the organization had no funding, and needed special trainers as well as special dogs. The Seeing Eye confronted these obstacles head-on. Morris Frank and Buddy traveled the U.S. acting as ambassadors for the cause, which literally opened doors for people with disabilities and their service dogs. They also influenced the eventual passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which grants full public access to people with service dogs.
