THIS GUY'S ELECTRIC
I met Barry, Jenny & Guy on the train, as they headed home after an event in Canary Wharf. Our little carriage got talking and we learnt that Guy is an Assistance Dog who helps Barry with daily living tasks.
'He helps me get up, by pulling on a rope I'm holding and takes my weight as he walks backwards', explained Barry. 'He also helps me get dressed and undressed and he'll help when I'm shopping, by paying - he takes the purse in his mouth and hands it to the cashier.'
Barry and Jenny are excellent ambassadors for Assistance Dogs and from what they said, they both work hard promoting the work the dogs do.
Guy is a black flat-coated Retriever and as he enjoyed the attention from admiring travellers, Jenny said it was ok for me to stroke him as he was semi 0ff-duty. He's a beautiful dog.
I particularly loved Barry's description of him though:
'Hes' electric'.
A great pleasure meeting you all.
