Pause everything you're doing and say a big hello to Kasper 🐶
Kasper has just started the early stages of his training to be a hearing dog!
This stage of his training will be filled with playing, exploring his surroundings, and having as much fun as possible 🐾🥰

My friend Mark Mardell was chucked off his Turkish Airlines flight at the weekend because he had Parkinson’s and his son had asked for assistance for him. (He’s written about it as a public post on Facebook but the link is proving hard to share outside,)
