If you are interested -- as part of the ACVO/Merial National Service Dog Eye Exams for 2009, the event is going to be held the week of May 3-9, 2009. Dogs must be registered first, and then an appointment made with one of the participating vets.
This is for service dogs, SAR, drug detecting, accelerant sniffing, etc. dogs -- including therapy dogs certified by Delta Society and Therapy Dogs, Inc.
Here's the website link: http://www.acvoeyeexam.org/
The website has all the necessary links and information to do this, if anyone is interested.

Yeah, saw this, got excited...but Sawyer is not able to get a free exam...as he's not "certified".

This goes back to the question we've asked before: who certifies service dogs?
Sawyer is more of a service dog than Nemo...
