Press release: InClover Research

Since 2005, InClover Research has been exhibiting at the Global Pet Expo, and this year they are thrilled to have Trevor Thomas, the only blind long-distance hiker in the world, along for the show.

Trevor Thomas has been redefining society’s definition of what it means to be blind. He first gained notoriety when less than two years after losing his sight, became the first totally blind person to complete a solo thru-hike of the famed Appalachian Trail. Since then, he has continued to shock the world by hiking more than 22,000 miles and completing thru-hikes of the most difficult and demanding distance trails in North America. For the past seven years, he has hiked exclusively with his specially trained guide dog, Tennille, from Guide Dogs for the Blind. Against all odds, the pair had hiked more than 10,000 miles together until her retirement in 2018. Trevor is now starting a new chapter in his continually evolving hiking career, and is training Tennille’s successor, Honolulu, for backcountry guide work. This season, the new pair will begin a new series of adventures that will take them further into the backcountry than ever before. They will go alone, without the aid of any human partner, guide, or GPS.

InClover Research is delighted to introduce Lulu as an InClover brand ambassador. Please join us in welcoming her to the first official show of her career at this year’s Global Pet Expo. Visit Trevor and Lulu at InClover Booth, #900, for a different perspective on how to optimally support your pet through life’s adventures, big and small.
