This week we witnessed some amazing moments...

With routine all over the place at the moment for children, things can be quite hard. Having to do remote learning, not being able to see family or friends, and with all of the usual hobbies and clubs children attend cancelled, there can be so much confusion, and upset.

 

This week we have seen so many of our dogs offer amazing support to their children at home. Something which is absolutely invaluable.

 

We saw service dog Yasmin making sure Jacob can relax, and take some time out. With cuddles from his best friend, this is so much easier!

Service Dog Ebony supported Rhys to continue in his online learning. That smile says it all!!

School therapy Dog Pep is working remotely, providing online Pep talks for students from the safety of their homes . Seeing Pep on Zoom is one of the student’s highlights of their remote learning, and they cannot wait to get back to see her and give her cuddles!

Service Dog Danny is right by Harvey's side, to help him to cope with online learning. Just having Danny there for a quick cuddle, or a rub while he is watching and listening is a huge help! We think Danny enjoys the videos aswel!

Service Dog Jinx made sure Darragh was safe at all times when he needed to go for a walk to get out of the house. Attached to Jinx, Darragh can burn off some of his built up energy, and get out in the fresh air safely.

Puppy in training, Kim, is right by Jai's side on the hard days! Where you find one, you find the other, and Kim makes sure that Jai knows his best friend is right there for a cuddle when he needs one.

And an amazing moment was caught on camera for puppy in training Nora and her pal Ben!

Watch as Nora supports Ben so he can continue with his schooling at home. A nudge of support, a cuddle, and mom, Sheena, including Nora in his schooling has been a game changer for Ben, and this moment was so heartwarming to see!

 

Our dogs may not be able to get out and about as they normally would, but they are working so hard to support the children at home!

 

And we bet we will have so many more stories, just like these, to share in the coming weeks!
