Trainee guide dogs fly between Manchester and Heathrow airports

Trainee guide dogs Herbie and Sunny have flown between Manchester and Heathrow airports to help them acclimatise to the sights and sounds of flying.

As part of a new agreement between Virgin Atlantic and Guide Dogs for the Blind, the animals are being given flight training so they can travel with blind or partially-sighted owners.
