Guide dogs from seven states will be showing off today at Maxwell Park in Normal as part of a convention of Pilot Dog owners. 

Angie Carnell uses her pilot dog to help her navigate State Farm Corporate South where she’s a project manager. She says her dog Kendall gives her the life she wants.

Carnell will join other pilot dog owners for obstacle and obedience competitions starting at 9:30 and going until one this afternoon. After that, visitors can listen to information about pilot dogs and stick around for Q and A with dog handlers. The group will also have raffles and prizes as it raises money for scholarships to breed, raise, train, and match the dogs with handlers.
