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.

Distracted

Yesterday morning we had a small snow flurry just as Harry went outside for his first toilet break of the day. But far from concentrating on the task at hand, he completely forgot about it and instead stood watching the snow fall in the garden.

Harry puzzled at the falling snow

Harry was so excited and started chasing individual flakes, he even managed to catch one on the end of his nose, which made him sneeze. He did eventually remember why he was in the garden in the first place, but he couldn’t wait to finish his business so he could get back to the important job of playing with the snow.

Harry has, of course, seen snow before, but it’s so long ago that he probably doesn’t remember – he was only 10 weeks old at the time.

We’re hoping that the forecast is correct and we’ll see more snow before the end of the week. We’re pretty sure Harry is too.
