8-week old puppy Jackie arrived in #Cheshire this month! Jackie's Mum, Erica, was raised by the same puppy raisers - so it was special for them to welcome their previous pups' daughter 💕 Puppy Duke, who was on holiday with the puppy raisers, got to welcome Jackie too!
Patch has found his kerb whilst out on a busy route in Shrewsbury. At this point of hi training he's practicing his new skills out in the real world, where it's busier and there's more distractions. Well done Patch! #Shrewsbury #GuideDogInTraining
