I started walking dogs in 2007. I got 2 dogs of my own and did not want to leave them at home all day so packed in work to be with them. Harvey a Black Lab and Poppy a Border Collie. I trained both to help my wife with her epilepsy. Harvey would indicate prior to a seizure and Poppy would get drinks and medication from the fridge.

 

As I was out and about walking them, I had more and more people asking me, was I a dog walker and that is where it all started. Unfortunately both passed away in 2019 which broke my heart.

 

I then decided to get another dog for my wife and we got another Black Lab called Norbert, I fell in love with his eyes  and we travelled to Ruthin Wales to get him from an amazing breeder called Siwan.

 

He is now also trained to assist my wife when she is not well and now he has a wider circle of friends that I do and is also a Blood Donor too. You will find him most Sundays at the Costa Coffee in the Sea Terminal from about 10.30 am onwards. So please feel free to pop by and say Hello
