Help celebrate Guide Dogs’ milestone
While watching the Remembrance Day ceremonies on Sunday last, I was remined that, during the First World War, a German doctor treating war blinded servicemen, noticed that his dog was guiding the patients out of dnagerous situations in the clinic confines. From this small beginning Guide Dogs for the Blind had its birth.
In 1931 Guide Dogs came to the UK and to commemorate this and 80 years of marvellous partnerships, a short service will be held in St Mark’s Church, Rugby Road, Leamington, at 3pm on Sunday, November 27.
The service will be led by the Bishop of Warwick, the Rt Rev John Stroyan, and Rev Paul Manuel, vicar of St Marks, and all Guide Dogs, Guide Dog puppies, retired dogs and dogs-in-training are cordially invited to attend, together with their human companions.
Music will definitely not be by Bark!
We look forward to seeing you all at St Mark’s to help celebrate this milestone in Guide Dogs’ history. - Stella and Malcolm Storer, New Street, Cubbington.
