Spencer - Guide Dog 🐾

[Boogie]

Tomorrow we are going to Sheffield to watch Spencer work and then meet him and say our final farewells. I can’t wait to see him again.

He‘s been matched with his owner and will start working with them in a couple of weeks. I’m excited for them too.

Echo has gone to another puppy walker for a couple of days - he’s happy because another GR pup his own age is there and they are already playing, playing playing!

Gosh, seems hardly any time since he was a baby x

 

[FayRose]

That's wonderful. I'm sure you're be rightly proud of him and so happy for his new owner. Would love to hear how you get on.

That's gone by so fast! Have a lovely day and give Spencer of the wonderful ears love from GGJ and me.

Bittersweet time for you @Boogie. Look forward to seeing the photos

Aww, a bittersweet day to be sure. Give all our love to Spencer, he of the sterling personality and shockingly large ears. What a special boy.

Have a great day @Boogie

It was absolutely amazing.

He‘s learned such a lot and is every inch a Guide Dog. Not one paw wrong. There were several dogs - one huge and really pulling towards him. He ignored them all completely. He navigated a van parked on the pavement with aplomb too.

Here he is - it’s a bit hard to see as we had to keep our distance. He went loooopy when we met him afterwards - a special time. He starts training with his owner on the 16th of March when they will spend two weeks at a hotel together, training by day and socialising with the others (three dogs altogether including his best friend Albert) in the evenings.

His trainer said Spencer made all the decisions with no support at all. That included refusing to go forward when asked because a car was coming.

Incredible.



He stopped halfway for a big play with a toy as a reward.
