[edit] Information

Meet guide dogs in training and the people whose lives they will change and enrich.

[edit] Chapter 1:

Cameras follow guide dogs at every stage of their journey - from newborns to trainees and veterans - as well as the humans that both train them and rely on them. This edition features Hester, a visually impaired 16-year-old and Paralympic skiing hopeful who's about to become one of the UK's youngest guide dog owners.

[edit] Chapter 2:

Cameras reveal how Ela and her pups - including Kinky, with the broken tail - are getting on. Puppy midwife Tim is keeping an eye on Ela's weight loss, but the youngsters are thriving. At puppy school, trainee guide dog Milton tries to use a pedestrian crossing.

[edit] Chapter 3:

Paralympic skiing hopeful and GCSE student Hester takes another major step on her journey to becoming one of the UK's youngest guide dog owners. She takes potential match Pickle on her first guided walk. Cameras also follow Asfaq, a Londoner in his thirties who is now in advanced training with potential guide dog Max.

[edit] Chapter 4:

It is a big day for Paralympic skiing hopeful Hester as assessors consider whether she is ready to be paired with Pickle on a permanent basis. In London, Ashfaq is settling into life with Max, but needs a little more help from trainer Barry to get more confident letting Max off the lead.
