The continuing adventures of Peter and his guide dog Ayla

7 August 2024

Peter is kneeling down in a garden amongst some flower beds, with his black labrador guide dog Ayla sitting next to him. Peter is smiling and holding Ayla’s leash, wearing a grey long sleeve top and blue jeans.

Exploring new places and new confidence, thanks to the generosity of donors.

Plane trips to Hamilton and bus trips back. Walking trails, trying blind cricket… the list goes on for Peter and his guide dog, Ayla.

 “Little things like going away and having confidence to navigate completely new environments and the sense of independence is quite tremendous,” says Peter. “Without Ayla, I just feel sometimes quite helpless to be honest. It’s life-changing. And the generosity of people who donate is just astounding and I’m so appreciative of it. The amount of independence it gives me and confidence to take on new challenges is just right up there.”
