Description

Daisie is a black Labrador retriever, who works as an "ambassadog" for the assistance dog charity, Canine Partners. 

Daisie and her handler, Ellie Chadwick, demonstrate to the general public the various tasks that an assistance may do to support its disabled human handler. They do this on a voluntary basis at weekends at country shows and other events all over the country, as part of the charity's fundraising efforts. 

Ellie's day job is also within Canine Partners, and she has spent her career to date working with and training support dogs.

This is linked to the last Dogs with Jobs episode, which focused on the canine/human partnership in action - that of eight year old golden retriever, Darcey and her human partner, Wren Rawlings. They have been partnered for seven years, and Wren gives an articulate and nuanced account of their relationship and how it has evolved and changed his life.  By coincidence, Ellie, whom we hear from in this episode, is the Canine Partners liaison link with Darcey and Wren - making this episode a companion piece.

Recorded at the South Downs Show, 2024.
