A bonus edition of Dogs with Jobs. We're sharing a wonderful interview created by the International Guide Dog Federation to celebrate International Guide Dog Day 2026. It features four very different human/guide dog partnerships from all over the world. The interviews go beyond the mechanics of guiding and training, and explore the emotional and social aspects of the relationship. You may recognise the voice of the host, John Welsman, who co-produces Dogs with Jobs, from our Christmas episode. We also hear from Jason Denton from Brisbane, Australia; Kirsten French from Washington state, USA, Pauline Eliers from Brussels, Belgium; and Nathan Foy from the UK. Huge thanks to the International Guide Dog Federation for sharing the interviews with Dogs with Jobs. Happy International Guide Dog Day for the 29th April, 2026!
