NASA Engineer Helps Train Puppy for Future Leadership Role

One of NASA's newest workers is a top dog ... literally. A golden retriever puppy named Aries goes to work every day at NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va. as part of the "Leader Dogs for the Blind" program. Her mentor is structural engineer Evan Horowitz.

As a child, Horowitz had seen a movie character raising a guide dog and it made a huge impression. "I've always wanted to give like most people do," says Horowitz. "Lots of people give money to charity, but I wanted to do something a little more, something more hands on, more from my heart."

Horowitz works on the rocket and capsule project that will take astronauts back to the moon, but he used to be in charge of structural engineering for a research aircraft known as ARIES, short for AirborneResearch Integrated Experiments System. That's how he came up with a name for his canine student.

Aries is Horowitz's third leader dog puppy, but his first since coming to NASA Langley two years ago. He put his name on a waiting list for a female golden retriever at the Rochester, Mich. based Leader Dogs for theBlind 18 months ago. During that time he made sure that he would be allowed to bring a puppy to work at a government aerospace research center.

"It took a little bit of diligence to get through to all the right people, especially trying to figure out who all the right people were,"says Horowitz. "I contacted the office of safety, security, questioned legal and of course the management and my co-workers to make sure they were okay with a puppy in the office."

"Leader Dogs for the Blind not only appreciates the love and efforts of our puppy raisers, but also the organizations like NASA that allow the puppies to experience the work environment," says Sam Ziegenmeyer of Leader Dogs for the Blind. "It shows a vision of not only the stars but of people and their needs on Earth."

The goal of Aries' training at NASA is not to turn her into a rocketscientist, but a well-socialized dog with knowledge of basic commands. Horowitz says he's supposed to walk around work with the puppy as if she wasn't there, but that's not easy to do considering the attention the golden retriever attracts. "She's adorable. She's a lot of love. She's a lot of fun," adds Horowitz. "She gets me to meet a lot of people ...because she's just a magnet for socializing."
