Ever wondered what goes into guide work? One of our trustees, Sean Dilley and UK Guide Dog Sammy took advantage of a quiet day in central London to give commentary on a short walk. It’s amazing how much a handler and dog have to process and explains why both can be tired after a long walk. Please like it and share it, but also, please note that in the United Kingdom, it is an offence to take any dog, including a guide dog on using escalator, unless, like this handler and dog, training and authority have been secured.

We are greatly honoured that the President of Estonia welcomed our President, David Adams and a small delegation of board members to the Palace to discuss issues impacting guide dog owners. The visit tied in with #EGDFConf2019 in Tallinn and shows that these issues are being heard.

As our final board members and delegates prepare to wave a fond farewell to #Estonia following an excellent #EGDFConf2019 , we took a sobering trip to a memorial opened in 2018 to 75,000 Estonians (one in five of the population) who were killed, imprisoned or deported to concentration camps. People here say these were the 'victims of communism'. We're reminded of how this wonderful country, like others of our membership, has progressed despite all of its' recent history. The video is 55 seconds. Can you watch, like and share it?
