Guide-dog-in-training

Back in January, on BBC Radio Swindon's Graham Seaman Show, Kelly Stooke met Sassy the labrador pup. Sassy was about to start an eight months training course to become a guide dog. Did she make it?


Every day on BBC Radio Swindon's Graham Seaman Show, this week, you can hear the story of Sassy. The puppy who's been in training to be a guide dog for the last eight months.

Sassy!

Since then Kelly Stooke, from The Graham Seaman show, has been following Sassy's progress and you can hear how she did all this week at 11.30am on 103.6FM.

Find out how Sassy deals with a busy supermarket, a crowded town centre, a packed bus and a brownies session full of admiring children.

You can also hear how the trainers Andrew and Nicola Cornick deal with the training and how they feel when they have to say goodbye to Sassy and hand her over.

Find out about Drove Veterinary Hospital's efforts to buy a guide dog back in January.
