Last Friday we welcomed 8 adorable guide dog puppies, along with their raisers, onto University Park Campus. The pups enjoyed a training walk around campus, getting used to the sights and smells of a university setting, in preparation for their future work as a service animal. They then joined us for a very special Communi-tea event, where students and staff from the School of English got to meet (and fuss over) these amazing animals, and ask their raisers questions about looking after a future Guide Dog 🐾

Feeling like you missed out? Don't worry, we have many more Communi-tea events planned for this academic year - check your weekly news bulletins for more information!

Many thanks to for facilitating this amazing experience! ❤️
