What do you mean "I'm the Helper now???" Fine, that makes you my Catering Staff.

Huge congratulations go to newly qualified Assistance Dog partnership Nic and Esme who recently passed their Level 3 assessment. Well done to you both!

Clever Esme shows that Assistance Dogs come in all shapes and sizes. The thing that they all have in common is carrying out incredible tasks to support their owner.

Thank you to Faith Ivey for training this fantastic duo and to Katherine Ferguson for assessing them.

To support Dog A.I.D. to train and support more partnerships like Nic and Esme, please donate to our emergency appeal. Every penny contributes to our life changing work. Thank you!

R-U-N-N-I-N-G. 😎 I do love a gentle stroll round the Forest. 😊
The Staff says I have no idea how hard it is trying to film me AND control the wheelchair at this speed, but I don't see how that's my problem. 🤭

Blah blah, the leaves are pretty, the light is pretty. Now can I PLEASE get on with my Very Important Sniffing? 🤨

Please help if you can. 😥 This is the amazing charity who've been supporting Furry Sidekick's assistance dog training.

We are devastated to share the news that Dog A.I.D. is facing closure.
If we don’t raise at least £100,000 by 15 November, we’ll have no option but to start closing the charity

We are a small charity, and we do not receive any government funding. We make a very big impact for physically Disabled people. But we rely entirely on people choosing to donate or volunteer to be able to do this.

We have always managed to raise enough in previous years to keep going and continue to support disabled people who need us. We are proud to have helped 476 disabled people to train their dogs and improve their lives. But this year, there’s been more competition for funds than ever before, and despite our best efforts, we
have not been able to bring in enough funding quickly enough for us to keep going much longer.

PLEASE can you help by making a donation today? https://www.justgiving.com/charity/dogaid

We don’t know where else to turn other than to our community and to people who understand the difference our work makes for Disabled people. So please donate whatever you can today. Thank you.

The Catering Staff wouldn't shut-up about the sunset light on the docks last night. I spent a LOT of time waiting around for it to take photos. It pointed out that it also spends a lot of time waiting around for me to Sniff Everything but that's not the same, right? 🤔

Yeah, and? 😎😎

Found an excellent stick. Chewed it into tiny pieces then rolled on the bits. Good day. 😄

Oh, hi. This me trying not to get blown off a cliff on the Gower. 😅

Hmm. How do I reach those seagulls? They're making an awful racket. It's interfering with my sunbathing! 🤨
