Many happy returns to our wonderful Patron, HRH Duchess of Cornwall. Storm and lots of his colleagues have been lucky enough to show her what they can do and she has been a wonderful, supportive Patron for many years. @ClarenceHouse @Bex_Arts

Assistance Dog in training, Samson, is a confident and cheeky boy. He loves his toys, especially tuggies. He lives with 2 Golden Retrievers and rules the roost! Out and about, he’s working on settling nicely amongst the many distractions. medicaldetectiondogs.org.uk/maad-informati…

Machi is a very bright little girl and is currently working on her basic cues such as 'sit' and 'down.' She is enjoying going out and about and watching the world go by and has absolutely no idea how special she is going to be. medicaldetectiondogs.org.uk/maad-informati…

Rufus sniffs each sample, and when he finds the odour he's been trained to detect, stops in front of it. He's working on a training odour at the moment but in time, this could be a bacterial infection, a neurological disease, cancer and more. medicaldetectiondogs.org.uk/about-us/bio-d…

Best friends and life-saving colleagues, Richmond and Bear, had a little rest together at an event. Richmond alerts our client, Jamie, when his blood sugar levels are very dangerous, and Bear alerts Demi to oncoming #POTS episodes. medicaldetectiondogs.org.uk/maad-informati…

Jess settled down with a tasty chew and held it firmly between the paws she will one day grow in to! She's a Medical Alert Assistance Dog in training and doing brilliantly with the first steps of her life-saving journey so she fully deserves that treat. medicaldetectiondogs.org.uk/maad-informati…

Lovely Leia uses her nose to detect disease and her big brown eyes to get pretty much anything she wants... She's a lovely, calm, obedient girl and Mum to some of our trainees after she had the charity's first litter from our breeding scheme. medicaldetectiondogs.org.uk

Sprocket is sweet, playful and energetic and loves scent games, which is a good sign for his future career as a super sniffer. He likes to play tuggy with his trainer and is using this to build positive associations in new environments. medicaldetectiondogs.org.uk/maad-informati…
