Douglas C. and Pacer
Doug is from Georgia. This month he was partnered with Pacer, a male yellow Lab.

Doug and his wife have four children and ten grandchildren. He is a ranger with the National Park Service and works as a tour guide at the Martin Luther King National Historic Site. When not working, he plays the saxophone and keyboard. He is also very involved with his church and with Global Media Outreach, an online ministry program.

Doug attended Western Pennsylvania School for the Blind. He has bachelors’ degrees in political science from Washington and Jefferson College and in theology from The Way College. Doug is now working towards a master’s degree in studio music and jazz.

Retinopathy of prematurity caused Doug’s vision loss. He finds the transition from an experienced guide dog to a new one to be an exciting adventure. Pacer is more feisty and playful than retired guide Orvis. Doug is looking forward to seeing his family and getting back to work.
