LETTER from the

PRESIDENT and CEO of

THE SEEING EYE

ON THE COVER

Nikki Bataille with her first Seeing Eye® dog, a yellow Labrador/golden retriever cross named June. The two were matched in August 2016.

“June loves her job,” Nikki said. “When she’s working, I can feel her tail hitting my leg

because it’s always wagging! I know she’s happy to be guiding me. Even when she’s off harness, she still follows me everywhere. She just loves being with me. She’s such a sweetheart!”

Nikki is a freshman majoring in music at Seton Hall University in South Orange, New Jersey. She is a singer and also plays the guitar.

“I love the feeling of having a Seeing Eye dog, because it just feels like… you’re walking!” she said. “When I was a kid I had a lot more vision, and I could walk around on my own, at my own speed. And now I have that feeling again.”

Your generous support in 2016 helped make this partnership and many more possible. We hope you enjoy reading about some of the other success stories you helped create.

Although some pledge payments remain to be received, we officially brought the capital campaign to a very successful close on July 30, 2016. The success of our capital campaign, in conjunction with annual fundraising and endowment performance, helps ensure that The Seeing Eye will be here to meet the needs

of current graduates and future applicants as long as people who are blind or visually impaired need Seeing Eye dogs.

In order for Seeing Eye dogs to serve as guides, they must exhibit sophisticated skills such as impulse control, flexible attention and independent problem solving. The Seeing Eye is currently in the final phase of a puppy development study in collaboration with the University of Pennsylvania. A Penn psychology graduate student, assisted by three Penn undergraduates, spent time at our Chester Breeding Facility and at our Stabile Canine Health Center following a group of 137 pups from birth to completion of The Seeing Eye program. The study includes behavioral testing and analyzing cortisol levels in the saliva of the dogs. Each puppy’s early experiences, behavioral differences and personalities over time were studied, and a biostatistician compiled and analyzed the extensive information. It is the goal of the study to improve our understanding of behavioral development in regard to temperament and cognition. Collaborations such as this one are important as The Seeing Eye continues to strive to provide the best dogs to our returning graduates and new students.

In June, The Dinner Party for The Seeing Eye was held on campus, with 115 attendees enjoying the culinary skills of eight local chefs. Guests also enjoyed a video about The Seeing Eye, a graduate speaker and a live auction. Over $110,000 was raised for our mission. Other campus events included our Donor Appreciation Reception in November which recognized the generous annual support of donors and our Heritage Society/Shepherd Society luncheon in May honoring individuals who have named The Seeing Eye in their estate plans and those who have made at least 25 gifts in the past 25 years to The Seeing Eye.

02 THE SEEING EYE ANNUAL REPORT 2016

2016 was an outstanding year.

The Seeing Eye completed –

a year early! – our five-year

capital campaign. Our goal was

sustainability: If we could raise

$10,000,000 over five years

to add to our endowment, a

conservative 5 percent draw

would cover half of our annual

costs. Thanks to the generosity

of individuals, foundations, and

corporations, we raised over

$11,500,000, exceeding our

goal by 15 percent.02 LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT AND CEO

James A. Kutsch, Jr. and VegasOther highlights of FY 2016 include:

• We served 253 students, received 420 applications, and accepted 277 candidates into our program. (Some candidates accepted in 2016 will attend in 2017.)

• We continued our follow-up support for our 1,751 actively working Seeing Eye teams, with Seeing Eye instructors conducting follow-up visits to Seeing Eye graduates in 41 states, Puerto Rico, and five Canadian provinces.

• At our Chester breeding facility, 504 puppies were whelped from 65 litters, with an average litter size of 7.7 puppies. The success rate for the 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 511 active families participating in puppy development in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, and New York by providing foster homes for our puppies.

• Family Day, always a highlight of the year at The Seeing Eye, was held on Saturday, August 20. The Seeing Eye staff welcomed more than 1,300 puppy raisers and their families to campus. In addition to awarding scholarships to 42 college-bound puppy raisers, events included instructor demonstrations,

exhibits on career change dogs, and presentations and question-and-answer sessions with Seeing Eye graduates. The day also included presentations from Seeing Eye instructors, Chester breeding station employees, kennel staff, and a history of the guide dog movement by Instructor Lukas Franck.

• The Seeing Eye was well-represented at the conferences of other blindness- related and guide dog organizations. Attendance at these conferences gives us the opportunity to keep abreast of the industry and share best practices. Seeing Eye staff members attended the annual meeting of the Council of U.S. Dog Guide Schools in October 2015 in Las Vegas, Nevada; the International Guide Dog Federation Seminar in May 2016 in Hvar, Croatia; the National Federation of the Blind convention in June/July 2016 in Orlando, Florida; and the American Council of the Blind convention in July 2016 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Seeing Eye also hosted the International Guide Dog Federation board meeting in November 2015 on our Washington Valley campus.

• This year, The Seeing Eye urged the New Jersey Assembly and Senate to post a bill that would exempt guide dogs and service dogs temporarily placed in foster homes (in our case our puppy raisers) from dog licensing and registration tag requirements.

It was signed into law by Governor Chris Christie in December 2015.

• In February, we launched a new social media campaign with an aim toward adding Facebook followers to our donor file. The campaign is based on “Mickey,” a fictional Seeing Eye dog, and his friends “Sarge” and “Gabby.” The dogs write “pupdates” from their perspectives about our program, puppies and graduates on our Seeing Eye Facebook page and weekly email recaps of their most popular Facebook posts. We increased our number of Facebook followers to 156,400 and our Twitter followers to over 5,700.

THE SEEING EYE ANNUAL REPORT 2016 03

Thank you for making 2016

such a successful year for

The Seeing Eye. Your support

of our mission has enhanced the independence, dignity, and

self-confidence of hundreds of people who are blind or visually

impaired through the use of our amazing dogs.

Sincerely,James A. Kutsch, Jr.President & CEO The Seeing Eye, Inc.

Dear Friends,

Throughout this annual report you will find stories about just a few of the amazing Seeing Eye dog teams we created in Fiscal Year 2016.

Our graduates do extraordinary things. Some climb mountains and run marathons; some surf and sail; and some are lawyers and scientists.

But people come to The Seeing Eye not for the extraordinary, but the ordinary: The ability to live their daily lives, without the need for assistance -- to pursue their hopes and dreams, independently, with confidence and grace.

Last year, thanks to you, we served more than 250 students. They came from across the United States and Canada to our campus in Morristown, New Jersey, as thousands of others did before them. After their graduation, we continued follow-up support, when they requested it, to ensure the team’s continued safety and success.

As the Officers of the Board of Trustees, we’re grateful to the generous donations from individuals, foundations, and corporations that continue to put miracles into motion for Seeing Eye graduates from all walks of life.

Mike Lorance of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, returned to The Seeing Eye in March 2016 to be matched with his sixth Seeing Eye dog, a German shepherd named Vernon. A long-time newspaper columnist who also starred in his own syndicated television show, Outdoors with Mike, Mike was the first blind professional fisherman to become a regular competitor on the prestigious Bassmaster tournament circuit. Last year he was presented with an award by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency and the Tennessee Fish and Wildlife Commission for his many years of dedication to the great outdoors.

“Vernon is outstanding,” Mike said. “I took him home and we went into town and the first time we just cruised right along. The second time we were walking down the same sidewalk and this time all of a sudden he stopped. I said, ‘Alright, big boy, let’s keep going.’ But he stayed put. I’ve learned after almost 50 years with Seeing Eye dogs when they stop there’s a reason. I started feeling ahead with my foot and a woman walking by said ‘Be careful, the sidewalk has collapsed!’ I said, ‘Well thank you, ma’am, and thank you, Vernon!’”

In recognition of her generous donation to The Seeing Eye, long-time Seeing Eye supporter Rita Bergerson was asked to name a Seeing Eye puppy, a male black Labrador retriever born on April 7, 2016. She chose the name Diesel to honor a police dog that was killed during a shootout with suspected terrorists thought to be involved in the November 2015 attacks in Paris, France. Diesel is now with his puppy raiser family and is scheduled to return to The Seeing Eye later this year to begin his training as a Seeing Eye dog.

Tori Kalinsky“I’m so much happier now that I have Aztec,” said Tori Kalinsky, who is majoring in early childhood development with a minor in liberal arts at Northern Virginia Community College.

In the photo, Tori, who wants to be a preschool teacher after graduation, is leaning back with a big smile on her face as Aztec, a yellow Labrador/golden retriever cross, tries to give her a kiss.

“We love going to Great Falls Park, where there’s a couple waterfalls and some nice trails. We love walking around and just spending time together. When he’s off harness, he’s very playful. He loves the attention and he loves being with me.”

Dr. Richard Ely of Florence, Massachusetts, hugs his first Seeing Eye dog, a German shepherd named General. They were matched in August 2016. A teacher of children with visual impairments, Rick said that General has become the star of his school.

“As we maneuver the crowded hallways, it seems that all the kids know his name and speak to him. He has learned most of our common routes and once started, he gets all the twists and turns. In classrooms, he is oblivious to the comings and goings of students. He is so laid back that some of the kids assume he must be old and in need of lots of sleep,” Rick said. “But when he’s out of his harness, he’s sort of like Clark Kent when he takes off the business suit: He becomes Superpup! He loves chasing a large ball or a Frisbee in our back yard. There is no sleeping then!”

Devils Night For the sixth consecutive year, The Seeing Eye teamed up with the New Jersey Devils for Seeing Eye Night, which is both a fundraiser and a “friendraiser” for The Seeing Eye. In addition to getting a portion of the proceeds from tickets sold, Seeing Eye instructors and puppy raisers bring dogs in training and puppies to the Prudential Center to meet the fans!

Army Staff Sgt. Jason Pepper was blinded during an attack in Karbala, Iraq, in 2004. The resident of San Antonio, Texas, said he has a lot more confidence traveling with his first Seeing Eye dog, a yellow Labrador retriever named Rubin. The two were matched in March 2016.

“I have so much more independence now,” he said. “I used to have a lot of anxiety about traveling alone. Now I know I have a partner with me. It’s he and I against the world. There’s nothing we can’t accomplish together. When we come to an obstacle we take it on together.”

The photo shows Jason smiling with his eyes closed as he gives Rubin a big hug and a kiss.

Lexi Rendon graduated with her first Seeing Eye dog, a yellow Labrador retriever named Honey, in July 2016. “I can’t believe in a few short months it will be a year since we were in class – time flies!” Lexi said.

Lexi, a high school student, will enter Texas Tech University in the fall, where she will major in human development and family studies. “I have visited the campus and attended several events for incoming students, and several staff members already recognize me by name. I often joke that they only remember because of Honey,” Lexi said. “A big campus is a bit overwhelming, but with Honey by my side I know I will have no problems at all. It will be a learning experience for us both!”

Membership listings include gifts received between Oct. 1, 2015 and Sept. 30, 2016

Seeing Eye puppy raisers came to The Seeing Eye campus after winning a pizza party through their involvement in the Seeing Eye’s Puppy Raiser Calendar contest.

Yadira Thabatah was matched with her second Seeing Eye dog in March 2016, a black Labrador retriever named Hazel. Her first, also a black Labrador retriever, was named Andrea.

“I was a little nervous about how I would bond with her, because I still greatly missed my first Seeing Eye dog,” Yadira said. “Andrea had passed away almost two years prior, but she was still very much present in my heart. However, the morning that Hazel leapt into my arms, I just knew she was perfect for me!”

Born to Guide Because of the high standards of our breeding program, our dogs continue to be in demand as breeders for guide dog schools all over the world. We currently have five dogs either on loan or permanently given to other schools around the world: Siri, a male golden retriever, is in France; Avatar, a yellow male Labrador/golden retriever cross, is in Japan; Eudora, a female German shepherd, is in New Zealand; and Connie and Farah, also German shepherds, are in Israel. Zappa, a male yellow Labrador retriever, was in Switzerland and has now returned home to retirement with his puppy raiser family. In exchange, sometimes we use dogs or pups from other schools to increase the genetic diversity of our breeding program.

Alan Mackey, a retired captain in the U.S. Air Force who flew B-52s and later was a commercial airline pilot, lost his sight in 2000 due to a bacterial meningitis infection. He came to The Seeing Eye in April 2016 to be matched with his third Seeing Eye dog, a black Labrador/golden cross named Oliver. In the photo, Alan is smiling as Oliver turns to give him a big kiss on his chin.

“Oliver is doing really well,” said Alan, who lives at almost 7,000 feet in Lone Tree, Colorado. “He’s like a race horse. He loves to go fast and I like that. He’s got that need for speed. It’s almost like a slow jog. He just loves to go!”

Viki Gillis of Middleton, Nova Scotia, came to The Seeing Eye in July to be matched with her first Seeing Eye dog, a German shepherd named Cheyenne.

“It’s pretty awesome,” said Viki, a singer who volunteers to perform music therapy at her local hospital’s veterans unit. “Our bond gets tighter every day. She’s an amazing dog.”

Viki said Cheyenne didn’t like to play while they were at The Seeing Eye, but that changed after they got home. “She was so serious! But now that we’re home she loves to play with me. She has a ball that she loves to play with. She’s quite the soccer player!”

Rosa Santiago of Sayreville, New Jersey, first came to The Seeing Eye in 1990 to be matched with Brooke, a German shepherd. In 2016 she returned for her second dog, a black Labrador retriever named Chikita. “We are doing fantastic,” Rosa said. “We travel on buses, trains, taxis, or on foot, and she does a wonderful job as my guide. She is adorable and has the most amazing sense of humor, especially when she walks around the house with a blanket in her mouth, shaking her head as she chews it. She is a very happy dog and I am so grateful to have her in my life.”

Preston Radtke of Muncie, Indiana, graduated in July 2016 with his first Seeing Eye dog, a black Labrador retriever named Burton.

Preston never had even a pet dog before coming to The Seeing Eye, but proved to be a quick study… as did Burton. “We’ve matured and progressed greatly as a team,” he said. “He has made me more comfortable regarding navigation. Thanks to him I am a more responsible and proactive person. I also greatly value the companionship he provides me with.”

In 2016, The Seeing Eye gave 16 seminars, including one at the University of British Columbia in Canada, attended by approximately 150 future O&M specialists.

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 excellence of these veterinarians and their staffs.
