Dogs for the Disabled unveils new network of ‘county champions’

Dogs for the Disabled County Champion from Cork, Louie Geary, and mobility assistance dog Maisie.

They can open doors and close drawers, they can pick up laundry and empty washing machines, they help people walk and can alert for help - but above all else, they give confidence and companionship, and transform lives.

The charity, Dogs for the Disabled, has unveiled new network of ‘county champions’ to share inspirational stories about how their remarkable assistance dogs have helped them as it sets out to develop a new national training centre and permanent headquarters in Cork.
