Yesterday my younger daughter, my guide dog and I were at an excellent event. We were in Covent Garden, Central London, with loads of guide dogs, guide dog owners and puppies all celebrating the 80th birthday of Guide Dogs, the organisation which has created nearly 30,000 partnerships in the UK. It was a great event! The London Mayor's bus was there, the press was there taking photos and my guide dog, R, was very excited to be around so many dogs and couldn't stop wagging his tail. It would have been nice if all of the doggies could have free run in the square but that would have been a disaster. There would have been fights!
