Guide dog gives A-level student her confidence back
An A-level student born with a rare eye condition has said having a guide dog has given her confidence back.
Hester, from Bath, used to find walking with a cane very draining and said Pickle enables her to live more independently.
"She has quite an empathy for human emotion which makes her really suited to me," said Hester.
