    If you see a #GuideDog on a escalator please wait patiently behind. Under no circumstance should you try to push through! I’m trained to hold my ground to keep dad & myself safe. Great job by @TfL staff who was with us 👍 @guidedogs @GuidedogsLondon @TransportForAll #LondonBridge

    I indicate to dad that it’s not safe to cross the road by sitting down, I would get up once the road is clear & wait for dads command. But we always welcome a helping hand 😁 #GuideDog

    Have you ever noticed a dog in a park wearing a bell on it’s collar, which jingles away as it walks & runs? For Guide Dogs like me it tells me I’m off duty & that it’s playtime. More importantly, it means @BlindDad_Uk can hear me & know where I am - though I never go too far!
    Kika stands proudly in the park, looking at the camera. Around her it is completely deserted, the sky is blue and white and the trees in the background bare.

    Who missed me? I'm pleased to say that my recovery is going well, my nose is almost healed & I'm getting out a bit more these days. I'm taking it (relatively) slow though so don't worry, especially given I'm going to be prodded & probed a bit more still!
    Kika stands in the long grass at the park, a bright blue sky behind her and her tongue hanging out in the most joyous fashion. She looks like she's had an amazing run around on such a glorious day in the park. On her collar she wears her silver free running bell.

    Got my stitches out!
    A photo of a happy looking kika at the vets. You can see a little redness under her nose where the stitches have been removed.

    I got to strut my stuff down the aisle at 33,000 feet thanks to the fab @British_Airways crew who took it in turns to walk me mid-flight! I even got a special shout out welcoming me on board - Thanks Leigh! 🎤 👩🏻‍✈️👨‍✈️ #BestNightFlightEver #KikaOnHoliday ✈️🐶📸

    If you ever wondered why dad is so concerned about my wellbeing when out & about, maybe this video will give you a glimpse of just how much focus I need to navigate a busy environment. I’m expected to do this day in & day out! @BlindDad_Uk #KikaCam #TheKikaEffect @guidedogs

    After almost 3 years in the job & crossing 100s of stations, it still amazes dad that I manage to find my way to the right platform, when all he tells me is "let's go home!" @TfL - any chance of having some signage lower down to help me & my fellow #GuideDog buddies out? #KikaCam

    If you’re under the impression that a #GuideDog only changes one life you’d be mistaken... we’re there to support the whole family 🤗🐶🧔🏽👩🏽👶🏽 @guidedogs @GuidedogsLondon @SponsorAPuppy @BlindDad_Uk @SeemaMistryP #LifeChanger #TheKikaEffect #TheLittleBroEffect #GDFamily
    Kika is in harness with her little bro giving her a big hug. He has his arms wrapped around her neck, his head squished next to hers, she has her eyes closed as if she’s really enjoy the hug & is being squeezed! They are both in a children’s play area with a slide in the background, little bro is in a puddle suit and wellies!

    Dad had to stand with his back against the doors whilst trying not to slip & I was sliding all over the place as the floor was wet. Have some humanity people! @GuidedogsLondon @GuidedogsLondon @Se_Railway @TransportForAll

    A bit of an update: I’m pleased to report that I’ve recovered well from my procedures but I have another scan soon to make sure we’ve caught all the tumours. My fur is growing back nicely but the clippers are never far away. In the mean time, I’ll keep taking dad to the park!

    3am wake ups are usually down to my little bro but this morn was different! Today I got my wings thanks to @TUIUK. Amazing service @Gatwick_Airport, the assistance staff took such good care of us all, thank you 🤗 🐶✈️ 👨‍✈️ #TheKikaEffect #CaptainKika @guidedogs @TUIUKcares
    Kika is in the cockpit with the pilot, you can see his dashboard and seats in the background. The pilot is there, placing his Captain’s hat on Kika’s head. Kika is up sitting, her eyes slightly squinted as she has the hat put on her head. The captain is smiling too!
    Kika is posing with 2 female flight attendants in the galley of the plane. They are both young and smiling, obviously looking thrilled to be featured in a photo with Kika! Kika is up sitting and looking slightly away from the camera

    “Do you want to sit down?” (& the guy is kind enough to hold down the seat for dad), now this is the #London we know & love 💜 #GuideDog @BlindDad_Uk
