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.

New horizons

Although Harry really enjoys his free runs, it’s usually on the moors, along the river, at the nature reserve or in the woods.

This evening, as we were staying up in the North East, we took Harry for a free run along some farm tracks.  Open farmland is not something he normally sees, so he got a bit of a shock when he saw a recently harvested cornfield for the first time. He didn’t really know what to do. He stood and looked at it for a while and then he went to investigate, but it was much too prickly underfoot.

So he did what any self respecting puppy would do, he found the ditch that ran along the edge, dived in and ran the full length of the field, emerging at the other end totally covered in mud.
