Donate to create more heroes.
Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear harnesses. This International Guide Dog Day, celebrate our heroes that change the lives of people with low vision or blindness.
Help fund more heroes, like Guide Dog, Hollie.
“I wanted a dog who was extroverted, because I was introverted,” says Charlotte. “And that’s exactly the kind of dog I was matched with.”
Hollie has settled into training well and gets along with Bronte like a house on fire. The comfort that a Guide Dog brings is also important, and Hollie has been a great companion throughout Charlotte’s PHD. “Doing a PHD is a little bit lonely, so I’m always talking to her when we are at the library and at uni. She’s the one I confirm all my arguments with.”
Today, Charlotte and Hollie travel together, play together, chat and keep each other safe. As many Guide Dog Handlers receive more than one Guide Dog in their lifetime, it’s always important they feel equally secure and loved with every dog that comes into their lives. And for Charlotte, as she makes the journey towards her future career, having Hollie by her side not only to guide her, but to care for her, is one of the best things she could ask for.
