Guide Dog owner, Paul Cutress (with daughter Emily and pet budgie!

I wasn't able to walk around the high street very well, I could just about get to Tescos but that was very difficult with a cane. Having a dog being my eyes has made it much easier. I can just hold onto him and he can guide me to where I want to go.

I'm a more confident Dad, I can go out with my daughter rather than get other people to take her places. Emily describes Trent as a big fluffy bundle of fun. They are fantastic animals.

As a sighted person if you could see the difference it makes to someone's life, if I'm any example of that, then to give £2 a month isn't a big hole in anyone's pocket really. I would strongly urge anybody who's considering getting a guide dog to do it, I'm happy to talk to anybody who's thinking about it. £2 a month out of your pocket isn't much money to anyone and you're helping such a wonderful charity.
