Picture of Harry

Hi. My name is Harry, I'm a Guide Dog Puppy in Training and this is my Blog.

Atherton Appeal

Harry supported Guide Dogs' appeal to equip the brand new training school for the North of England at Atherton. He was keen to help as he was to be one of the first puppies to train at the new school.

Harry was at the launch of the appeal on 7th October 2008 where he got to meet the Press. One of the newspaper articles can be seen here.

Nelly the Elephant

Another one of Harry’s new toys is an elephant designed especially for dogs. This toy has all of Harry’s favourite ingredients – it’s furry, has a piece of rope attached, it makes a noise (thankfully not a squeak, more of a rattle) and best of all, it has a tail. We’re convinced Harry actually thinks it has two tails, as he’s never met anything with a trunk before.

Harry does like to customise his toys wherever possible and Nelly has been no exception. The first thing to go were the two pieces of black felt representing the eyes, next up was the fur on the top of her head – it was long and floppy on Saturday, but has since been trimmed and now resembles more of a crew cut. It doesn’t bother Harry though – he loves her just the same.
