Following a sell-out show barking mad comics from prestigious kennels in both London and Sussex, are joining forces to raise funds for ‘Canine Partners’.

Canine Partners are based locally in Heyshott, West Sussex where they train dogs to provide practical day-to-day assistance to people with disabilities.

The dogs are trained to help with everyday tasks such as opening and shutting doors, unloading the washing machine, picking up dropped items, pressing buttons and switches and getting help in an emergency.

These amazing dogs bring companionship, a sense of security and an increase in social interaction. Canine Partners receives no government funding and relies solely on public donations.
