Lance sometimes was not the best Guide Dog in the world but he was a very special Guide Dog and served Tony Averis for 10 years. He became Tony's friend, confidante and inspiration to start to live again. He got him through the bad times and they went on to have the most wonderful good times. I knew Lance all through his time with Tony and the difference that Lance made to Tony's life was incredible.
He came to myself and my partner Rob for his retirement and we had two wonderful years with him. He didn't want to play football so much and he wasn't as playful but he still could manage to play with his favourite thing, his football on good days.
His favourite toy was Gerald who he would scoop up to cuddle and never bit a portion out of the whole time he possessed him!
You are greatly missed Lance and we hope that you are playing football up in heaven!

As one of the lucky people that had the good fortune to help Lance in his retirment, I am proud to say that Lance was not really a pet, but a friend. when he met my mother for the first time, a lady who don`t like dogs, her comment was `what a big dog` but she never shied away.
Lance you are missed by both me and your mum and as I write with tears in my eyes you will be missed always!
