Keir - Guide Dog and Hearing Dog (dual trained)

[FayRose]

Oh, crumbs, adorable, bless those sweet little hard working pups x

 

[Beanwood]

Oh bless them! Such good pupsters....

 

[Aitch]

They are beautiful! Are they both doing well?

 

[Boogie]

They are beautiful! Are they both doing well?

Very well, both have started Advanced Training

Just read this thread now. Bittersweet. You are made of very strong stuff. Reading about guide dogs always reminds me of the book, Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro.

That boy Marshall looks a character!

Keir is just gorgeous.

Waiting to be picked up to go home after school. They’ve been bus training today in Leeds city centre

They both look tired after a long day's work! Keir is as handsome as ever.

Keir has gone to his forever owner’s house. They will go ‘on class’ in January, training with a Guide Dogs Moblity Instructor for three or four weeks. His owner is a blind man with a wife and three young children. Keir adores children and is incredibly gentle with them.

This photo was sent by his boarders, who will miss him as much as we do.

Fingers crossed his owner gets in touch in due course.

Go well lovely boy, work hard and play lots.

Damn these tears , no wonder you had such a special relationship with him Mags , good luck darling boy xxxxx

 

[M.F.]

How lovely he goes to a home with a children. I always imagine guide dogs leading such solitary lives.

 

[Charlie]

Aw what a lovely photo and how lucky is he going to a household with children! Keir is my favourite guide dog out of them all. He looks so special. Have fun lovely boy and do your job well. xxxx xx

Oh Mags, I know this is both happy and sad news for you. He's such a credit to all the love you've given him.

Bittersweet for you @Boogie, I'm sure.

But what a stunning dog he is, and what joy he will bring. Is he the first guide dog the family has had?

I’m not sure about that, we don’t get many details

I’ve just read this thread from start to finish.....what a heart warming journey he’s had so far, and he will now be able to complete someone else’s life. Huge kudos to you for giving him the excellent start that he needed to get this far. Now I’m off to get a few tissues....well done!!

 

[Jacqui-S]

He is such a lovely boy.
Be proud Mags. You are just fantastic xx

 

[Lab_adore]

Blinking back years but in a good way. Look at that beautiful little face....

 

[Xena Dog Princess]

It sounds like he's been matched to the perfect home. I hope they fly through their training together.

This week in 2018 I took puppy Kier to the service at Manchester Cathedral. He didn’t put a paw wrong on the train , in the city, or in the service. He was damp due to a rain shower, but the cathedral staff were very kind about it. The Dean came to chat to us before the service to check we had everything we needed. The organ was incredibly loud and he didn’t bat an eyelid. Many admirers at coffee time! We then had a nice afternoon in the garden with Tatze.

 

[Boogie]

What a wonderful afternoon with Candy, GG Joy, Keir and his owner. One to treasure.

Keir is four years old now and still working beautifully for Michelle.

 

[Selina27]

Gosh he is so handsome along with everything else.
Wonderful that you had such a gathering today, really special xx
