This week on Oh My Dog!, Jack , Seann and Sara welcome inspirational guest Mark Long, who shares his incredible story of losing his sight, being paired with his guide dog Mary, and taking on the brutal Penny Fan challenge to raise money for Guide Dogs. Donate here: https://www.justgiving.com/page/pounds-for-puppy-penny

Plus: Dolly’s motion-sensor night lights, Mildred’s latest escape mission, the Cinnamon Trust Comedy Gold selfie winner… and a powerful update on the campaign to end animal testing. The Parliamentary debate took place and we hear from Camp Beagle's John Curtin with his thoughts.
