A dog for dementia and the family that loves steam engines

BBC Radio Scotland - Our Lives with Michelle McManus, A dog for dementia and the family that loves steam engines

People from across Scotland share their stories and passions with Michelle McManus.

A teenage girl who loves steam engines, a frisky pensioner who loves firemen, and a lady who was scared of dogs but now loves her black lab.

A woman who was scared of dogs tells Michelle why a black labrador is her new best friend. Take the Floor presenter Gary Innes recalls his last day on the job as a fire fighter when he had a very close encounter with a frisky pensioner. Three generations of one family come together to share their passions for steam engines with Michelle. The grandfather bought the first one 40 years ago, his daughter posed on one for her wedding photos, and now his teenage granddaughter is spending her weekends shovelling coal.
