LISTEN: New Start For Owner Of Missing Nairn Guide Dog
Fraser Stevenson has been training with Labrador Remy, 6 months after his first dog disappeared.
A Nairn man who lost his guide dog says his life is back on track after meeting his newest canine companion.
Fraser Stevenson's old helper - Tess - disappeared 6 months ago.
Despite a large social medica campaign and multiple sightings, she's still not been found.
But now Fraser's training with a new guide, Labrador cross Remy.
Fraser and Remy are in the early stages of their partnership, but things are going well.
“With Remy by my side I have begun to get out and about and again live a more independent life,” said Fraser.
“Of course, I’m still really upset about Tess and concerned for her whereabouts and safety.”
Guide Dogs say efforts are continuing to trace Tess.
“We ask that anyone who sees a dog that they think could be Tess to take a picture and email it to Glasgow@guidedogs.org.uk ,”said Terry Thorpe, Glasgow Mobility Team manager.
“We are continuing to investigate possible sightings with staff, volunteers, and local agencies on the ground.
“We remain grateful for all the support we’re receiving in our efforts to try and find Tess.”
