Puppy crowned 'Royal Prince'
Prince George

Guide Dogs rolls out the red carpet for puppy

As the world celebrates the birth of a new royal, Guide Dogs for the Blind Association has entered into the spirit by crowning one of it's puppies Prince George!

As the newest member of the royal family embarks on his extraordinary life, Prince George the puppy is also on a mission - to become a qualified guide dog.

Guide Dogs have brought out the bunting and red carpet for the golden labrador retriever cross puppy, who is just six weeks old.

Kate, a dog care and welfare assistant at Guide Dogs, who has been caring for George since birth, said: "George must know that he’s royalty, he is very friendly and loves being around people! He is a star and much like his namesake will be loved by everyone who meets him."

To support George in his mission to become a guide dog, you can visit the Guide Dogs Sponsor a Puppy website.
