A Message from the
Executive Director...
As I sit and ponder what message I would like to
convey, and how to express our gratitude to everyone
that has assisted us in completing our mission over
the past 63 years and 7,484 individuals we have
helped, I find the words of one of our graduates more
fitting than any I can articulate.
Dear Pilot Dogs,
A special thanks to the staff and Lions members who
have donated their resources and funds for this
program.
I am truly thankful for the time I spent at Pilot school
in May 2013. Every day that I work with and care for
Cheyenne, I think of all the excellent training and
hospitality everyone extended to me during my stay.
I feel that I have been privileged to become part of a
family with a shared mission and experiences that
have shaped my life in numerous ways. When I put
the harness on Cheyenne, we are both transformed. I
am not just a partially sighted person trying to make
his way in the world, but rather one who travels with
purpose and confidence.
Sincerely,
John & Pilot Dog “Cheyenne”

Becky & Pilot Dog “Waldo”
Pilot Dog the
Star of the
Courtroom
Judge David Holton was
recently matched with his
sixth Pilot Dog , Rocky.
While there is always a lot of
emotion leading up to
receiving a new guideexcitement, nervousnessJudge Holton wasn’t the only
one anxiously awaiting
Rocky’s arrival. Those
regularly working at the Hall
of Justice where Judge
Holton presides had come to
know and adore his previous
Pilot Dog, Buddy, and were
waiting to meet the dog who
would take his place in the
courthouse.
Rocky’s predecessor had
left some big shoes for him
to fill, as Buddy had become
quite the popular fixture at
the courthouse over his
decade of guiding Judge
Holton. The arrival of the
Judge’s new dog was filmed
by a local news station, who
followed their first meeting,
training with Pilot Dogs
trainer Bonnie Rueber and
his introduction to everyone
at the Hall of Justice.
Judge Holton and Rocky
quickly got into a rhythm
with each other and look to
be an excellent match. While
Buddy could certainly never
be replaced, we are
confident Rocky will go on to
become a legend in his own
right at the courthouse.

In-Home Placement & Follow Up
We did several in-home placements and/or follow ups this year. They were in
Ohio, Georgia, Michigan, Florida, Virginia, New York and Kentucky.
Doing these trips gives us better insight into the different obstacles our students
face on a daily basis. On most of these trips we try to do more than just the home
placement. We will visit other students, attend a Lions meeting, drop off information at rehab facilities, or interview prospective students.

Prison & Volunteer Program
Currently, we have 29 puppies being raised in four correctional facilities. The inmates at each facility have the same
responsibilities: to housebreak, teach obedience, and socialize the puppy they are raising. The Puppy Department staff
goes to the institutions to ensure that the inmates learn the proper techniques to train the puppies. Faithful volunteers
help two days a week walking the puppies in German Village to allow them to have exposure outside of the correctional
facilities. Our list of volunteers has grown and they have become a very loyal group of people. A waiting list has been
established for future and/or substitute walkers. (Continued on Page 7)
In loving memory of Timothy W. Gilmore
We are grateful for the time Tim gave to the Pilot Pups since he began volunteering in
2013. His calmness and selflessness brought joy to the puppies in our program.
However, I think Tim enjoyed the puppies just as much as the pups enjoyed him.

Prison & Volunteer Program Continued...
The institution located in Cleveland is guided by volunteers Dr. Alice Schottenstein and Cathy Christopher, with occasional
visits by our staff. Dr. Schottenstein and Cathy spend two afternoons a week working with the inmates at North East Prerelease Center. They work on obedience, grooming, manners and overall health care of the puppies. They have also
established a great group of volunteers to “furlough” the puppies for one week each month. The puppies live in the homes of
these volunteers for the week to experience a true home-life atmosphere, which also includes many trips to places like
doctor’s offices, schools, sporting events and overall exposure to the outside world. With the help of our volunteers, the
success of our puppies has improved greatly. To say thank you just doesn’t seem to be enough.
4-H & The Puppy Department Connect
In conjunction with Lucinda Miller (OSU Extension Specialist-4-H Youth Development, Companion & Small Animal
Programs), the Pilot Dogs Puppy Department has been working to increase awareness amongst 4-H club members of the
possibility of raising a Pilot Puppy as a 4-H project. At the state level the number of areas 4-H’ers are able to enroll has
increased to five in the hopes of increasing competition and interest in new projects. Our goal is that this new increase will
lead to more 4-H’ers raising Pilot Puppies for a project. To achieve this, we have worked with Lucinda to create a brochure
outlining the demands and benefits of raising a puppy and how well it can fit into 4-H. This spring we will be attending local
4-H open houses as well as a part of our effort to increase awareness of our program. We currently have ten youths raising a
Pilot Puppy as either their 4-H or FFA project. We are extremely grateful for the support we have received at both the state
and local levels in spreading the word about our Puppy Raising Program.
Jowaine Grimes is one of the 4-H’ers raising a Pilot Puppy for her
project. She is currently raising her third dog for us, Astro. Her
first two dogs have both successfully graduated as Pilot Dogs,
but before that were award winners with Jowaine at her county
fair.
Jowaine’s mother, Michelle, says that raising puppies for Pilot
Dogs has taught Jowaine a lot of responsibility and been a
rewarding experience for her. She also shares in the sentiments
of most all of our Puppy Raisers-that giving them back is the
hardest part. But for Michelle: “when you get the picture of them
and their new owners it brings tears to your eyes.”
