The waiting game is now well and truly on.
I’ve taken to the blog to document my experience of the application process, in the hope that it’ll help others considering applying for a guide dog. If you’d like to find out more, a link to my blog is in my bio.
I’m beyond excited for the day I can share even more guide dog content with you! 🦮 @guidedogsuk @guidedogs_ne
