DYLAN the guide dog’s whirlwind island tour took the black Labrador Retriever through the City today. 

With owner Danny Gleeson in tow as well as trainer David Rankin, Dylan was at the head of the Animal Control Centre’s motorcade and rally in association with the Barbados Working Dogs Association and the Barbados Council for the Disabled. 

“This is the climax of Animal Control Week where we promoted canines in service and this motorcade was an educational tool for that,” said animal control officer Curtis Thompson. (CA)
