Staff and students of a third level college which opened its campus to help train guide dogs are now being encouraged to open up their homes to the pups too.

Munster Technological University (MTU) signed a special partnership deal with Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind (IGDB) earlier this year to allow the charity establish guide dog training routes in and around its rapidly developing Bishopstown campus in Cork.
