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.

Paparazzi Pup

Harry was invited to attend the launch of the Atherton Appeal at the Guide Dog Training Centre in Bolton, so naturally we went along too. Sometimes Harry has so many entries on the calendar – puppy classes, invitations to go out for lunch and play time or free runs with other pups, that it seems as though we’re just a taxi service.

Harry had a thoroughly exciting day at the launch, meeting lots of new people and other Guide Dog pups, he even got to meet two exceptionally well behaved working dogs. When it came to having photographs taken, Harry just needed to be reminded what to do – walk straight, don’t pull and don’t forget to smile for the camera.

Harry’s really chilled when it comes to having his photograph taken – he’s had the camera waved in front of him almost everyday since he arrived at 6 weeks old. He’s even mastered the art of looking straight at the lens, but today was a little bit different. Today the photographers wanted to take shots of him in action, and they had really big cameras. But Harry didn’t bat an eyelid and behaved as though he’d been posing for Press photgraphers all his life.
