Carrie said: “Despite celebrating his twelfth birthday recently, Bobby is still as charming as ever and loves meeting new people.

"I’m so proud of him and the contribution he’s made to increasing the public’s knowledge and understanding of the charity’s work, and the transformative effect that having a guide dog brings to those whose mobility and independence has been reduced by blindness.”

Like many guide dogs, Bobby has also been a donor to the national Pet Blood Bank, a charity which supports vets by providing life-saving transfusions for dogs in need.
