We have received updates from two of the Guide Dogs sponsored by Herefordshire Lodges based in Hereford.  

Bailey, sponsored by Coningsby Lodge is now one year old and still in training.  He has grown up to be a strong and loving young dog who is full of potential. He has certainly grown from the first picture taken as a puppy.

Mason, sponsored by Vaga Lodge has now qualified as a life-changing dog.  He has been matched with Philip.

After training together for several weeks, Philip and Mason have formed a wonderful partnership, and they’ve been busy practising their skills and exploring new environments – the world has really opened up for them both.

Marinda, the Guide Dog Mobility Specialist who has been working with Philip and Mason, told us proudly that Mason is a sensitive, intelligent young dog, and it’s been so rewarding to watch them both grow in confidence these past months.

The generous gifts from both these Lodges has enabled Guide Dogs for the Blind to continue the vital work that they do, providing freedom and independence for people with sight loss.
