Guide dogs on planes, Dealing with parties

BBC Radio 4 - In Touch, Guide dogs on planes, Dealing with parties

Guide dog passport problems, coping with parties, and blind soldiers in WWI.

We hear how a guide dog was quarantined because of pet passport mistakes. One of our listeners tells us about coping with parties. And we learn about blind soldiers in WWI.

We hear how mistakes on a guide dog's passport led to it being taken away from its owner at Gatwick Airport. One of our regular columnists tells us about coping with parties when you can't read people's body language. And literacy historian, Dr Kate Macdonald, tells us about her research into WW1 short stories which depict blind soldiers.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
