Could an assistance dog help you?

Hi @Hugo_Lamb,  
                             Thank you, I really hope that the attitudes towards guide dogs and assistant dogs starts to see change as their are vital life line to those who need them just as my wheelchair is too me. I am looking to develop a presentation and go into schools to talk about disability, mental health and overcoming adversity as I believe there is still such a lack of awareness of lots of different elements to disability. I believe one way to implement change in by educating people but as I say I am in the very early stages of doing this. I agree with what you say about their being a lack of awareness with regard to how specially trained dogs can support people with epilepsy as I wasn't aware of it until @woodbine commented on this post. It's so sad because as you say, like with most things, it all comes down to money. We must continue to strive for change and I thank you for sharing your story with us. Thank you.

Thanks Chloe!  Do you know when you will get yours?  I hope it's not too disrupted by covid! 

Hi @Hugo_Lamb, I'm not sure unfortunately! Fingers crossed I wouldn't have to wait too long though.
