HAZEL THE GUIDE DOG PUPPY

Well Frankie's gone to school and, from the
Facebook pages, he’s having a good time playing
with all the other trainees at Guide Dog School.
However, I am now on my own and finding out
that mucking around doesn’t muster a treat.

biscuits. Unfortunately, we had left the evidence

Till next time

I do try to
Hazel behave! x
