Andrea Cooper’s guide dog is helping her go from strength to strength
Andrea Cooper’s guide dog is helping her go from strength to strength There’s no stopping Andrea Cooper now! Since becoming one of our youngest ever guide dog owners at just 15 years of age, she’s really been making up for lost time. Right now, she’s enjoying every minute of life at Warwick University, excelling in her sociology degree course and making lots of new friends. In fact, just recently, she’s made a guest appearance on local radio! She also has a blog, where you can follow her experiences.
Andrea's mum has loved seeing the remarkable transformation in her daughter's life. "I simply can't over-emphasise the difference that Cara, (Andrea's guide dog) has made to Andrea’s life. She's rediscovered a passion for living that has long been lost."
