FOR THE SEEING EYE,
13 WAS A LUCKY NUMBER IN FISCAL YEAR 2015.

07 COMMITTED MEMBERS
There is a growing demand for Seeing Eye dogs, as
reflected by a 14 percent increase in applications from the
previous year. In order to meet this demand, we added an
experimental 13th class to our usual monthly class schedule,
squeezing it in between the end of the March class and the
beginning of the April class. This special two-week class was
only for experienced graduates returning for replacement
dogs after their previous guides could no longer work. It
was taught by David Johnson, Director of Instruction and
Training, with two class supervisors and one instructor. The
students graduated in 14 days rather than the usual 18. The
experiment proved to be so successful that we will be doing
it again in Fiscal Year 2016 as we continue to innovate and
find new ways to serve our students.

ON THE COVER
Ashley Shaw, a student
at Lee University in
Cleveland, Tennessee,
is a perfect match with
her first Seeing Eye
dog, a black Labrador/
golden retriever cross
named Emmit. Posing
for a photo, Emmit
abruptly turned and licked her face – then looked
back at the camera with an innocent expression.
“I am told Emmit makes those innocent faces a
lot!” she laughed.
“Since I got him, I have felt as well as been told
by others that my confidence levels have been raised
tremendously. I feel more comfortable walking by
myself where before I would feel anxious in crowds.
I am so grateful for him and The Seeing Eye. I brag
about the school to everyone I speak to about it!”
Your generous support in 2015 helped make this
partnership and 249 others possible. These men and
women – ranging in age from teenagers to senior
citizens – are now pursuing their careers, their
studies, and their lives with a renewed sense
of independence and dignity.
We hope you enjoy reading about some of the
success stories you helped create thanks to your
generous support of our mission.
02 THE SEEING EYE ANNUAL REPORT 2015
Winter 2014-2015 was an especially tough one in
New Jersey with brutal cold and lots of snow. There
were days that were so cold that we could not walk
our usual routes on the streets of Morristown. But once
again, we innovated, working indoors on campus and inside
department stores, supermarkets, and malls. Despite the
adverse conditions, all winter classes graduated on schedule.
James A. Kutsch, Jr. and Vegas
AND CEO OF THE SEEING EYE
Other highlights of FY 2015 include:
• We graduated 250 Seeing Eye teams.
• We received 451 applications and
accepted 244 candidates into our program.
(Some candidates accepted in 2015 will
attend in 2016.)
• We continued our follow-up support for
our 1,745 actively working Seeing Eye teams,
with Seeing Eye instructors conducting
follow-up visits to Seeing Eye graduates in
41 states, Puerto Rico, and four Canadian
provinces.
• At our Chester breeding facility, 505
puppies were whelped from 70 litters, with an
average litter size of 7.2 puppies. The success
rate for dogs that returned to campus from
their puppy raising families and went on
to graduate from the program or entered
the breeding program was approximately
75 percent, allowing us to train only the
very best dogs, and to find the very best
match for each of our students. We had 491
families in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware,
Maryland, and New York participating in our
volunteer puppy raising program.
• Family Day was held on The Seeing Eye
campus on August 22 with more than
1,300 puppy raisers in attendance. The
Seeing Eye awarded scholarships to 55
puppy raisers who plan to attend college.
There were instructor demonstrations, talks
with Seeing Eye graduates, a career change
K-9 demonstration by members of the
Metropolitan Transit Authority Police, and
presentations by Seeing Eye staff on the
history of The Seeing Eye and a talk about a
day in the life of a veterinary technician.
• The Seeing Eye Orientation and Mobility
Program held 14 seminars on the campuses
of participating colleges and universities,
giving approximately 150 orientation and
mobility students an understanding of how
guide dogs could benefit their future clients.
• We gave our website a new look and new
functionality. The new site includes stories,
pictures, and videos about our graduates, our
instructors, and our dogs and puppies. The
goal of the website redesign was to make the
site more welcoming and easier to use for
everyone, whether they are using a computer,
a smartphone, or a screen reader.
• Our campus visit program continues to be
very popular. The public is welcomed to make
reservations and visit on Thursdays and one
Saturday per month. The visit includes videos,
talks by a graduate and an instructor, and a
history of The Seeing Eye. In 2015, more than
2,000 people attended 45 visits (an average
of 44 individuals per visit).
• The Shepherd Society was created to
recognize donors who have a long history
of giving to The Seeing Eye. The members
of this society, who are listed in this annual
report, have given a minimum of 25 gifts
regularly over the past 25 years. The first
218 inductees were welcomed this year with a
German shepherd head pin.
• The Seeing Eye kept in touch with other
blindness, guide dog, and animal-related
organizations. In October, members of The
Seeing Eye staff attended the annual Council
of U.S. Dog Guide Schools conference in
Chicago, Illinois. In July, members of the staff
attended the National Federation of the
Blind conference in Orlando, Florida, and the
American Council of the Blind conference in
Dallas, Texas.
• The Seeing Eye Advocacy Council began
a social awareness campaign to ensure
guide dog teams can walk freely within their
communities without fear of interference and
attack by unruly or aggressive dogs. The goal
of the campaign is to remind pet owners that
their dogs, no matter how friendly, can pose a
distraction to a working guide dog team.
• We continue to be a major player in social
media as our followers on www.Facebook.
com/SeeingEye increased nearly 40%, from
approximately 90,000 last year to more
than 125,000. This year we had several
creative campaigns to keep in touch with our
followers, including an online brochure,
“10 Steps to Training The Seeing Eye Dog
Way”, and in October, we published stories
each day about our graduates and their dogs.
Thank you for making 2015 a successful
one. Your generous support of our mission
has enhanced the independence, mobility,
and confidence of hundreds of people who
are blind or visually impaired through the
use of our amazing dogs.
Sincerely,
James A. Kutsch, Jr.

DEAR FRIENDS:
How do we decide which dog is matched with which student?
It’s not as simple as the next student getting the next dog, or matching them based on their names. (Yes, it really
was a coincidence that a former police officer was matched with a Seeing Eye dog named Copper, that a lifelong
New York Yankees fan went home with a dog named Clipper, and that the best partner for a student named Jane
proved to be a dog named Tarzan!)
In fact, making the match is as much an art as it is a science. We walk with each applicant, with an instructor
holding the other end of a harness handle, to assess his or her preferences when it comes to pace, pull, and pep.
(Some students prefer a slow and steady Seeing Eye dog, while others want a speed demon!) We also consider
another “P”: Personality. It’s true! Over the four months of training, our instructors quickly get to know each
dog’s unique characteristics. Some dogs love the hustle and bustle of city life, while others are more at home in
the peace and quiet of the country. A dog that can quickly settle down for a long nap could be the right fit for a
college student or an executive with lots of meetings, but a mom with a trio of toddlers would prefer a dog who
can keep up with her busy schedule. All these factors are considered before that poignant moment when dog and
student are introduced for the first time.
A match really is magic.
Last year, we made 250 matches – thanks to your support. As the Officers of the Board of Trustees, we’re grateful
for the generous donations from individuals, foundations, and corporations that make this magic possible.
Thank you!

*Graduate of The Seeing Eye
Tony Taliani returned to The Seeing
Eye in July 2015 to be matched with
his second Seeing Eye dog, a German
shepherd named Ichabod.
“A week before we moved to Columbus
last June, my first Seeing Eye dog
passed away suddenly,” Tony said. “I
was nervous because we were moving
to a big city, and I knew I would need
to rely on public transportation and
being independent since my wife
started a demanding new job as a
resident physician at Ohio State.
Luckily, I was able to get into a class
at The Seeing Eye within a few weeks
of moving to our new city. When I
first met Ichabod, I cried like a baby
because I felt the sadness of losing my
first dog and the joy of meeting a new
partner all at once. Ichabod quickly
greeted me by licking the tears off of
my face.”
Tony is a high school English
teacher in Columbus, Ohio, and he
said Ichabod is a perfect fit for his
classroom. “He sleeps in a soft crate
during my instructional day, and he
gets to have a break in the middle of
the day when I have lunch,” he said.
“He doesn’t make a sound, and the
kids forget about him most of the
time.”

The Seeing Eye online auction, held in
May, raised almost $87,000 for The Seeing
Eye. Popular items included a visit to our
breeding station to play with puppies,
spending a day with a Seeing Eye
instructor, pet portraits, jewelry and Seeing Eye logo
items. This beautiful basket of chocolates from Enjou
Chocolates in Morristown, New Jersey, was donated
by Seeing Eye graduate Cynthia Bryant, who also is
a member of our Board of Trustees.
Sharon Wright of Fort Worth,
Texas, came to The Seeing Eye in
March 2015 and was matched with a
golden retriever named Vardon.
“I had not gone out on my own since
I moved to Texas in 2012,” she said.
“However, this past year Vardon and
I have been going to restaurants,
bingo, craft group, for walks, and
more! I love him very much and we
make a great team. We have many
more places to go and many more
people to meet!”

* deceased
Jenifer Barr, a customer service
representative living near Cleveland,
Ohio, graduated from The Seeing
Eye in January 2015 with her fifth
Seeing Eye dog, a black Labrador
retriever aptly named Able.
“My Seeing Eye dogs are more than
just dogs. They are my eyes!” Jenifer
said. “They allow me to do things
I would feel uncomfortable doing
otherwise. I have confidence when
I go to new places. I put my trust,
my faith in Able. I know he will not
disappoint me or let me down. From
my very first dog until now… new
doors are constantly being opened to
greater independence!”

Buddy, a female German
shepherd, was the first Seeing
Eye® dog. She was bred and
trained in Switzerland for Morris
Frank. All Mr. Frank’s Seeing Eye
dogs were named Buddy and,
in their honor, the name has
been retired.

The Seeing Eye
and the New Jersey Devils
A Festival of Sound
Gran Fondo New Jersey
For the fifth consecutive year, The Seeing Eye and the
New Jersey Devils teamed up for Seeing Eye Night.
On March 8, 2015, Seeing Eye puppy raisers and their
puppies attended the game against the Philadelphia
Flyers at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.
There also were Seeing Eye instructors on hand to
demonstrate how Seeing Eye dogs can navigate an
obstacle course, and to answer questions about
training. And the Devils won, 5-2!
A Festival of Sound, organized by Anita Eigen, Marty Eigen,
and Neil Manowitz, was held March 21, 2015, to benefit The
Seeing Eye. The performance, held at the Bickford Theater
at the Morris Museum, brought together some of the top
performers from the worlds of jazz, pop, and blues: Rio
Clemente, Carrie Jackson, Grover Kemble, Rob Paparozzi,
Gene Perla, Bernard “Pretty” Purdie, and host Marty Eigen,
leader of the Beacon Hill Jazz Band. It was such a success a
second concert will be held in 2016.
The fifth annual Gran Fondo NJ was held September
13, 2015. This bicycle tour, attended by more than
2,000 cyclists, starts and ends in Morristown but
winds its way through the beautiful New Jersey
Highlands on courses that range from 18 miles to 107
miles. The Seeing Eye is one of the beneficiaries of
this popular event.
The Seeing Eye provided volunteers to staff a rest stop that
provides plenty of refreshments… and kisses from puppies!
Seeing Eye puppy raisers gather around the Devils logo in
the front lobby of the Prudential Center.

Seeing Eye dog, Vegas, with A Festival of Sound performers Carrie

Room at The Seeing Eye.
Members of The Seeing Eye’s riding team prepare for the
start of the tour.
Heritage Society and
Shepherd Society Luncheon
The Seeing Eye Corn Maze
IBEW Motorcyle Run
and Cruise
The tables were set at the Ranger Dining Room for
members of The Seeing Eye’s Heritage Society (those
who have made planned gifts to the school) and the
Shepherd Society (those who have given at least
25 gifts to The Seeing Eye over the last 25 years or
more). Members of these two societies were invited
to campus on May 28, 2015 for a luncheon and a
program about puppy raising.
Ort Farms in Long Valley, New Jersey, held a series of events
to benefit The Seeing Eye in the summer and fall of 2015,
capped by a unique fundraiser: The Seeing Eye’s logo cut
into a maze over an 8-acre corn field! The farm raised
$5,000, enough to name a Seeing Eye puppy Harvey, after
farmers Harvey Ort Sr., and Harvey Ort Jr.
International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 102
donated the proceeds of their annual Motorcycle Run
and Cruise In to The Seeing Eye this year. The event, held
on July 25, 2015, raised more than $30,000! It featured
classic cars, motorcycles, and hot rods.

Brad Hart is a retired elementary
school principal, but he stays pretty
busy: he serves on his former school’s
board of directors, volunteers once
a week at an elementary school, is
president of the Spring Township
(Pennsylvania) Lions Club, is president
of his local chapter of the National
Federation of the Blind, and is married
with five children!
Brad came to The Seeing Eye in
January 2015 to be matched with his
first Seeing Eye dog, a yellow Lab/
golden cross named Tony.
“Tony gives me the confidence I need
to travel independently and to be
confident in my involvement in the
community,” Brad said. “When the
harness is on, Tony is strictly business,
but when the harness is off, he lives
the dreamy life of being a playful,
lovable puppy. Tony is a great friend
and one I know I can count on in life.”

Dr. Jennifer Harnish is the
Director of Rehabilitation Services
for the Carroll Center for the Blind
in Newton, Massachusetts. She came
to The Seeing Eye in September
2015 to be matched with her second
Seeing Eye dog, a black Labrador/
golden retriever cross named Agnes.
“Agnes presents such a professional
appearance when I speak in my
work role on behalf of blindness
rehabilitation services. I also love
being an active mother of three
with Agnes by my side during
school events, our family downhill
ski trip, and walking with my kids
to community activities. They are
free to roam without concerns for
my safety now that Agnes is by my
side,” Jennifer said. “And I love the
safety, speed, and return to a daily
commute to work that includes five
miles of walking round-trip. I have
never been so healthy!”

“Life with Wilson is outstanding!”
says Matt Yeater of Middlebourne,
West Virginia.
Matt graduated from The Seeing
Eye in July 2015 with the German
shepherd, his first Seeing Eye dog.
“He has me more mobile, more
independent, and I can move much
faster. Wilson is adjusting to life as a
member of our family well. He even
goes to kung fu class with us and
stretches and bows when we do!”

Shae Lake is studying to become
a special education technician at
Collège Boréal in Sudbury, Ontario.
She came to The Seeing Eye in
August 2015 to be matched with
her first Seeing Eye dog, a yellow
Labrador retriever named Hallie.
“Hallie has made my life so much
simpler!” she said. “I have gained so
much independence with her that
I can’t imagine myself ever using a
cane again. With this independence,
I have also gained self confidence in
myself and have found myself more
adventurous in my daily routines.
Hallie has changed my life and I
can’t even begin to express how
much I appreciate everything The
Seeing Eye has done.”

Terry Garrett of Aurora, Colorado,
graduated in November with his
second Seeing Eye dog, a female
yellow Labrador retriever named
Hazel.
“Traveling with my Seeing Eye dog
Hazel has changed my life,” he said.
“We zoom around work, the home,
and the airport, make nightmares
like malls and restaurants a breeze,
and I have a friend who will always
be with me and will never forsake
me. We are pals for life!”

For the third straight year, The
Seeing Eye posted stories about our
graduates on our Facebook page at
Facebook.com/SeeingEye during
the month of October, which is
Blindness Awareness Month, and
then printed the collection of stories
in a magazine called Partners: Tales
From The Seeing Eye.
One of the featured graduates this
year was Phil Levin, an attorney
from Manchester, Maryland. Phil
was a very active person before
he lost his vision,
and remains one.
“I’ve run the Boston
Marathon, I’ve gone
skiing, I’ve cut down
trees, I fix fences on
our farm,” Phil said.
“I fall sometimes. And
then I get up. With
Fred I can walk the
same speed I did 25
years ago, and that is
priceless,” he said.

THE SEEING EYE
Veterinary Recognition Awards
Each year, The Seeing Eye receives nominations from our graduates and puppy raisers for our
Veterinary Recognition Awards. These veterinarians, and many others who remain unnamed, have
gone “above and beyond” as they provided extraordinary service and care to Seeing Eye dogs in
all stages of their lives.
Our puppies, our dogs-in-training, and the Seeing Eye dogs working with their owners all benefit
greatly from the generosity of these veterinarians and their staffs.
