Well Done, Vanguard! Continuing to Make a Difference
For those of you who have been following us for a while, you may remember Vanguard, the soppiest, smiliest Golden Retriever you ever did meet and an absolute bundle of happiness.
After careful assessment, Vanguard has retired from assistance dog training due to hip dysplasia. While this is very manageable, it would not be fair for him to work as a full assistance dog long term.
But Vanguard, we are very proud to say, hasn’t stopped making a difference. After passing his assessment, he has embarked on a new and perfectly suited career as a Pets as Therapy (PAT) dog. With his calm, cuddly and endlessly loving nature, Vanguard will continue to change lives by visiting and supporting children in schools.
And we have to say, a huge well done to Vanguard. He looks super handsome in his new PAT jacket, just as handsome as he did in his Hounds for Heroes one. A new chapter, the same big heart, and a truly wonderful impact still to come.
Well done, Vanguard. We wish you all the very best on your new adventures, here are some of our favourite Vanguard moments.
