DOG charity Canine Partners is celebrating 25 years of transforming the lives of people with physical disabilities.
The charity trains dogs to perform tasks such as opening and closing doors, undressing, pressing buttons, retrieving items, unloading washing machines, taking card and cash from ATMs and other everyday tasks that disabled people find difficult to do for themselves.
Andy Cook, CEO, said: “This year is going to be very exciting as we aim to place another 80 dogs with disabled people."
