Guide dog owner Cynthia took her guide dog Gem, to meet her Puppy Walker recently. Cynthia said ‘We were staying at our sons’ and found Janice, Gem's Puppy Walker lived nearby so we took Gem along for a catch up! Thank you to Janice and all the Puppy Walkers for all they do’

Oliver and Unity recently enjoyed a free run at Peterborough embankment. Both dogs were wary of the many Canada geese and swans! Happily neither went in the water. It is coming up to matching time so there are a couple of clients waiting excitedly for visits. Fingers crossed!

Oliver (yellow labrador guide dog in training) and Carri have done some long walks recently. Both end up pretty shattered afterwards!

The award for the best behaved dog in the office goes to the lovely Unity. She has recently been spending some time with the Business Support team and once she gets snuggled up in her bed we often forget that she is here.

This week, Oliver and Carri were on the buses! Oliver managed to relax for the 40 minute journey with only the odd bit of sniffing under the seats where dropped food may lurk. It's important the dogs can sit in between seats as sometimes the disabled space is already in use.

Introducing Oliver, Carri’s new guide dog in training. He is a yellow Labrador and outside bred! Oliver is a very handsome fellow as I’m sure you will all agree.
