Minnie, who had cataract surgery two months ago, is held by her owner Beth Miller of Canfield, Ohio. For the month of May, veterinary ophthalmologists are offering free eye exams to service dogs.

On-line registration for those exams, which normally cost about $170, is required and must be completed by April 30 at ACVOeyeexam.org (http://acvoeyeexam.org /?reload). Additional details also can be found there. To qualify, working animals must have been certified by a formal training organization or program or be enrolled in one. Those who go to the website are given a registration number and asked to contact a local vet to schedule an appointment, which are first come, first served. The two veterinarians in Northeast Ohio providing the service are just outside Akron: Metropolitan Veterinary Hospital (http://www.metropolitanvet.com/), 1053 S. Cleveland-Massillon Road, and Eye Care for Animals (http://www.eyecareforanimals.com/locations/ohio/akron.html), where Bobofchak works, 1321 Centerview Circle. On Twitter: @dianesuchetka.
