A Moment to Enjoy with Pat and Finn

Seeing Eye graduate Pat McKenna and his yellow Lab Seeing Eye dog venture around a variety of fun settings. The perspective is from a camera mounted on the dog’s harness. The dog’s view is shown as they navigate the beach at sunset, a ferry and waterfront pier, a pumpkin patch with Pat’s two young boys, rock climbing with Pat’s sons, a campfire, mini golf, walking along Pat’s son as he rides a bike down a sidewalk. The video ends with taking in the scenes at the beach and finally a view of Pat being guided along the water by his dog. The video is produced by Pat McKenna and edited by Pete Berthold.

Pat and His Seeing Eye Dog Commute to Work

One morning, Seeing Eye graduate Pat attached a camera to his Seeing Eye® dog Finn’s harness and filmed their commute. In the video, you can watch from Finn’s perspective as the team travels by bus, train, and subway — navigating across busy streets, around a local shop, and eventually to Pat’s office.

Video Description: A NJ Transit bus pulls up and opens its doors. Pat and Fin board the bus. Next we see Finn seated between Pat’s legs, looking out from under the bus seat. Then they disembark from the bus and cross a busy street at a crosswalk. After that, they are on a NJ Transit train platform and the team is shown boarding and disembarking from the train. Finn guides Pat along the platform, to the stairs and finds the next train they must take on their journey. Finn then guides Pat off the train and up to the busy city streets where they cross another busy intersection in the crosswalk. They make a quick stop at a convenience store where Pat purchases a drink and then they head to the building where Pat works. Finn navigates Pat through security, to the elevator and finds Pat’s office. At the end of the video, Finn rests comfortably in a large dog bed with toys that he is chewing on before looking up at the camera as if proud of himself.
