A popular Worcestershire toiletry company has named two future life-changing guide dog puppies.
Baylis & Harding has made a generous donation to sight loss charity Guide Dogs, and as part of their support, they have named two future life-changers through the charity’s name-a-puppy scheme.
The two pups, named Baylis and Harding, are already capturing hearts.
Baylis is a black Labrador cross Golden Retriever, and Harding is a black Labrador.
"This incredible donation from Baylis & Harding will make a real difference to our service users."
Born in September last year, the pair have been growing fast and the business has been following their journey every step of the way, receiving regular 'pupdates' and photos.
Now 10 months old, the puppies are currently living with their Puppy Raisers, who are helping them learn basic skills and adapt to everyday life.
This crucial first stage prepares them for their formal guide dog training.
Staff from Baylis & Harding recently had the opportunity to meet their namesake pups during a special visit to the company's headquarters in Redditch.
A memorable moment that brought the impact of their donation to life.
"It’s been incredibly rewarding to follow the journeys of Baylis and Harding, and to know the donation will help transform someone's life.
"We’re proud to be part of something so impactful."
It costs £102,000 to raise, train, and support a guide dog from birth to retirement.
Guide Dogs has trained over 37,500 guide dogs.
That’s more than one new guide dog every day since the charity’s first guide dog partnerships were created in 1931.
