‘We believe dogs can really make a difference to people’s lives and we specialise in working with people to really give them the opportunity to get the benefits of working alongside a dog.’As part of Dogs with Jobs, Metro.co.uk got to meet Fleck, and his handler Sarah Tosh-Robb. Fleck is a six year old Golden Retriever cross.
Sarah, Fleck and other community dog handlers schedule weekly visits with their clients, often alongside support staff such as mental health nurses or support workers.Everyone has one moment in their career that will stay with them for the rest of their lives.
