Assistance animals

Hearing dogs in training visited university students to offer a helping paw.

Each puppy is looked after by a volunteer for about 16 to 18 months before it returns for training.

Elie-Mai Riddick, from Bristol, who has difficulty walking, says a support dog has changed her life.

Nathan Major-Kershaw says drivers complain about having his guide dog in their car.

Guide Dogs charity is seeking people in Devon and Cornwall to train and home more than 200 dogs.

Members of an over-50s group in Gloucestershire have been enjoying spending time with the pets.
