Happy days!

A trip down the Ards Peninsula today, and a walk on the beach at Ballywalter - we loved watching this very happy and boisterous Labrador in the water, he and his friend, a black Labrador, were having a whale of a time! We spoke to their 'mum' in the car park as she was about to walk a puppy and discovered she was a puppy walker for Guide Dogs. The golden Labrador in the photo had started his training with her and had moved on to the next stage, but had developed dermatitis and so had been rejected as a guide dog. The puppy was just 4 months old - they were beautiful dogs, and I so admire the work she does in their early training, but I don't know how she can give them back, she has them for about a year before they go on to the next stage of the training.
