Queenie the dog, from Canine Partners
If you've got a pet, you'll understand the love that it can give you.
But some people have animals for other needs, such as assistance for people with diabsilities. Assistant Dogs can help with everyday tasks including loading and unloading a washing machine, dressing and undressing a person, pushing buttons for lifts.
Canine Partners in Leicestershire, works with and trains puppys to become assistant dogs.
Kenni Stewart is the volunteer puppy parent, and looks after puppy Queenie when she's not at training helping to give her life experience.
Kenni and six month old Queenie joined Ben Jackson in the studio, to speak about the charity and the help dog's like Queenie can bring to people.
