Stella and Ajay are dual trained dogs -that means they guide and also do physical tasks like helping mum dress, getting stuff out of the washer, pick things up, and other things. Stella is retired now but she did that job for many years from 2012. Ajay took over from her in November 2020. Jackson is dad’s guide dog, and he just does guiding.
