For the first time, a guide dog puppy has joined the daytime TV show, This Morning. The pup will be part of the show during her puppy walking stage, until she is ready to start her training.
Jayne George from Guide Dogs said the charity is "delighted" to have one of its puppies joining the show.
"Every hour, another person in the UK loses their sight and the Guide Dogs charity is here to make sure they don't lose their freedom as well.
"Following a puppy's journey will give ITV This Morning viewers a unique insight into both the important and early stages of guide dog training and the work we do as a charity to help thousands of people with sight loss to live their lives the way they choose."
This Morning viewers will also get the chance to name the 11-week-old Labrador pup this week.
Emma Hunnisett is puppy walking the young guide dog before she begins her training. She says the pup is already shaping up to be a bit of a character.
"We noticed that she's a feisty little thing when we first had her, and she's turning into a proper little sweetie now.
"Puppy walking is great because it's something the whole family can get involved with, and the thought that she will go on to change someone's life one day is what's all about for us."
