Our Story
Fred’s Restaurant is named after a female black Labrador Retriever. Fred was bred by the dedicated people at Guiding Eyes for the Blind, based in Yorktown, New York. This wonderful organization’s sole purpose is to breed dogs for their important role as guides and companions for the visually impaired. Due to their standards, each litter may have one or more puppies that do not have the aptitude for this visual work, as determined by proven field tests. Fred is one of the marvelous dogs, who was released after such testing. Guiding Eyes for the Blind maintains a wait list of prospective owners who are anxious to adopt their released puppies. Happily, Fred found loving “parents” here in the neighborhood.
