ロイヤル・ファミリーさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ロイヤル・ファミリーInstagram)「A royal recognition for our paw-some service! Guide dog Piper, approaching his tenth birthday, is due to retire later this month. Piper and owner Mary were recently invited to Bagshot Park, Berkshire, the home of Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Edinburgh, Patron of Guide Dogs, alongside outgoing Guide Dogs CEO Tom Wright and new CEO Andrew Lennox. To mark Piper’s retirement after so many years of loyal service, Mary and Piper were presented with a special ‘Putting my paws up’ dog tag by The Duchess. Piper is one of hundreds of guide dogs who retire across the UK every year, all of whom deserve to be recognised for their devotion to their owners.
