Hello All,

This little chap has grown up to be a working guide dog for the blind.
So proud of him.

Hello pumpkinlover,

Yes I puppy walk for guide dogs. He was my second guide dog pup.
Have another guide dog pup now called Ivor.
He's also a black lab.

Many thanks Borlotti,

It's that time of year where guide dogs as a charity have their fun days at different venues up & down the country.
It's Leamington this weekend. If you ever get the chance to do a guided walk with a guide dog, I'd recommend it. It's very
humbling.

He's lovely! Such a thoughtful thing to do, and I guess that if one is always replaced with a new one, you don't miss them so much. At least they go to homes where they are loved and appreciated.
