Frank by Chris & Gerald

Frank was a cream coloured Lab/Retreiver guide dog and the eyes of Gerald for 11 years. He worked in our local hospital and on more than one occasion helped patients who could not communicate. He would stand or sit whilst someone got the patients hands and stroked him saying Guide dog.

Frank knew who would give him treats and who had been told not to! He loved cheese crisp packets and could find a pub in a strange town. He was a character. He would not leave the altar rail till Gerald had received communion and was not averse to yawning if he thought the priest had talked too long! Gerald prayed for his eyesight back.

God answered his prayers. His eyes had 4 legs and a cold wet nose. His tail never stopped wagging and he was a pleasure to own. The pain of his loss is so severe but even to the end he would shake his play collar so his bells rang to let Gerald know he wanted to go and spend. He tried hard not to do anything in the house.
