BOLT is a retired racing greyhound and the namesake of BOLT, LTD. During the last fourteen years BOLT has been a regular part of the staff here. He comes to work every day and has his own area in the main office. BOLT is well known in the Elkhart area and people often stop in just to see him.

BOLT has been featured in stories about greyhound adoptions in local newspapers and on local television stations, and he has been nicknamed 'the greyhound ambassador'. He has participated in greyhound adoption promotions and is indirectly responsible for many people learning about (and subsequently adopting) ex-racing greyhounds as pets.

Today BOLT is approaching eighteen years of age. He moves much slower now and has become very white in the face. Though arthritis makes getting in and out of the van to ride to work difficult, BOLT still accompanies us to the office every day. He spends almost all of his time sleeping but still rises several times during the day to wander throughout the building and visit briefly with all of the BOLT employees.
