Which of these puppies do you think will be Blue Peter's new guide dog?
"Dear Blue Peter, Please can you tell us how Honey is getting along?"
We still get about twenty letters a week asking after Honey the Blue Peter guide dog, although it's over two years since she left us as a fully-trained guide dog for the blind.
Honey was bought by Blue Peter viewers who collected enough silver paper to buy two and a half guide dogs. But before guide dogs start their intensive training they have to be 'puppy walked', which means that the puppy goes to live with a family, and is brought up like an ordinary well-trained dog until it's old enough to learn how to be a guide dog.
This was exactly what we did with Honey, but we've never really stopped missing her since the day she left, and judging from their letters neither have Blue Peter viewers.
So, as we still have enough silver paper In the kitty to pay for one and a half guide dogs' training-and as we happen to know that the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association is desperate for puppy walkers, we've decided to try again.
Today, Derek Freeman, the Puppy Walking Manager, will be in the Blue Peter studio with Valerie, John and Peter to select Blue Peter guide dog number two. The puppy will be chosen from a litter of ten yellow labradors. Their father is Timber, who is Honey's father, and their mother is Kree, who is Honey's mother's aunt. We don't know what their precise relationship is to Honey, but we'll settle for half-sisters and brothers!
Incidentally, the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association really is desperate for puppy walkers, so if you feel like becoming a puppy walker yourself, and if you live near one of their centres at Birmingham, Coventry, Leicester, Kingston or Watford write straight away to the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association, [address removed] (marking your envelope 'Puppy Walker').
But whether you're going to be a puppy walker or not, look in to see the new Blue Peter guide dog. After all, it may be your silver paper that paid for her!
