Kate Lord Brown, a former Petersfield resident's, latest novel, The Silver Thread is a tale of three cities and two women, spanning 100 years.
An unforgettable love story set in London, Paris and Tokyo, exploring the meeting of Eastern and Western cultures.
Noni Needs discovers when Kate Lord Brown first ate Japanese food, learnt to cook the cuisine during lockdown and how one character, Mira, deals with her experience of trying Japanese food for the first time.
Kate Lord Brown said: "The Silver Thread is a light connection between people, places and time. People and places that you love are never really lost to you."
The novel's dual timeline explores culture, fashion and art.
The story unfolds as a buying trip to Japan in the late 1800's by two employees from Liberty's in London begins their journey of enduring love.
The life long love story is uncovered by Mira, a curator from London who is tasked in 1975 with cataloging the treasures and discovering the secrets of an apartment in Paris left empty for decades.
Available in hardback, the book is out in paperback on July 31.

James Gilboy has quite a family story, from his childhood in the Peak District, where he always loved farming and animals, through the sale of his family's successful bakery business to the recent search for the perfect home, where they could restore an historic estate. The place they found, dating back to 1550, sits in a secluded valley threaded with barns, private lakes and ancient woodland on the periphery of the South Downs and, most importantly, enabled them to introduce regenerative farming.
Mark Simpson, who's son has a part time job at the Bramshott farm, asked James to tell him about his current and future plans with their deer, cows, lambs, pigs and chickens, as well as improvements to the eco system, employing local talent and launching hospitality and simulated shoots at Downlands.

Councillor Chris Paige is now the chair of the Festival Hall Development Committee - an extremely complex large project.
Planning permission took two years and authority to proceed (by the planning authorities) has now been given.
Costs are under the microscope.
The use of the Festival Hall is now over 80% but more obligations are placed on the Council around its operation, Cllr Paige explains.
The 90 year old building needs work and upgrading.
The Committee met on 26th June and received two reports - one from Gennicon (feedback from local groups who use the Hall) and Elucidate with a cost analysis.
The last committee meeting earmarked £95,000 for new detailed drawings on plans but approval will only follow after these reports are digested.
The Committee papers and reports are online and meetings are open to the public at Schedule of Committee Meetings May 2026 – April 2027 – Petersfield Town Council

Embracing Age, the Christian befriending charity, is once again appealing for people to send cards to residents in care homes who may not have relatives or visitors or be able to participate in group activities.
Zoe Jones, who works across East Hampshire for the befriending charity, talks to Mike Waddington about the project and how simple messages on cards help.
Zoe also speaks about what befriending involves and working with hundreds of care homes in East Hampshire.
It goes on to the end of September so would also be something returning schools might want to be involved in, about their own holiday memories.
Embracing Age match you up to a care home and say who the cards can be posted to.

Speaking to Mike Waddington and Julie Butler he says he has enjoyed his first six weeks and he will promote volunteering for as many organistions as he can and thinks more people can help Petersfield this way.

The latest contains notes and thoughts in a first edition of Thomas's poems, giving a contemporaneous view from over 100 years ago.
Others offer mysteries to be solved, like a hand written poem to Rupert Brooke from 1919.

Nine year old collie, Peggy Sue, is on her last agility season this year.
Owner, Rachel Williams took some time out from organising the Agility trials at Dogs Day Out in Hampshire to talk about the sport in general and Peggy Sue's career.
Rachel is interesting on the working urge in collies - Peggy Sue will retire from agility, but she has no plans to stop. She's also bringing on her younger puppy, Brie, whose parents are both working farm dogs.
She also explains why this sport - seen at the highest levels at Crufts and international competitions - remains highly accessible to any dog and handler with a close relationship and a liking for activity.
It's accessible to all - from kids to really quite old (!), and all breeds can participate from toy poodles to malinois.
Recorded at Dogs Day Out, 2026 in East Worldham, Hampshire.

Petersfield is named after the 'Church built in the fields,"
St Peters contains the history of Petersfield, going back to Norman times possibly earlier (King Alfred is commemorated in one of the windows); Reverend Hughes says that means people could have asked older relatives what they did at the Battle of Hastings!
However, some people with catapults damaged the historic Grade One Listed Building (some stained glass windows have still to be repaired) so CCTV cameras were installed and, says Reverend Will Hughes, they are working, with some recorded footage already passed to the police and people feeling safer.
Reverend Hughes spoke to Mike Waddington about the history of the Church and why it is the centre of the community.

There's been an explosion in Petersfield town centre.
The blast blew-out the window at Twilly's fabric alterations shop on Chapel Street. It left shop owner Tanya shaken and having to manage extensive damage to her shopfront.
It happened just after 11.30am.
Tanya told Shine Radio's Stephen Martin that she had a lucky escape. It was only a layer of film across the window that prevented the shattered glass from hitting her in the face she says.
She says it was quite scary as she was sat right by the window sewing and "the dog went mental".
The explosion was caused by a lorry tyre which blew out in the street outside Tanya's shop.
Project managers who look after the Chapel Street shop units are making the window safe and organising repairs.

Father of two, Nathan Foy, has worked with a guide dog since he was 18 years old.
Nathan explains the profound loss the accompanies the end of a partnership, as well as the gratitude he feels every time he steps outside his house with his guide dog partner.
It is also a fascinating insight into the human guide dog partnership and its evolution over time. Nathan explains the efficiencies that mark out a veteran dog and how non-verbal communication takes over from verbal commands over time.
Each of his (very different) dogs have accompanied him through various stages of life, according to their personalities and strengths:
- Hughie, his best mate saw him through his teens into his twenties, with many firsts experienced together;
- Bessie, whose intelligence and sociability made work trips all over the UK an adventure;
- Mason, whose steadiness guided Nathan, a toddler and a baby in a buggy safely across town every day and through Covid; and now
- Joey, who sits at the heart of family life, while supporting Nathan with the challenges of blind parenting.
Nathan works for Guide Dogs for the Blind Association (Guide Dogs)

Volunteers have been using very large nets to take up to a thousand fish - mainly carp - out of the 22 acre Heath pond over a couple of days at the end of January.
It’s about reducing the biomass in the pond; this helps other species to come through and reduces the growth of algae in the water.
The volunteers, usually anglers, also take measures to safely transfer the fish to the Cotswolds.
Money raised from fishing licensing at the Pond goes to the upkeep of the water and surrounding land.

Dogs with jobs pays an early morning visit to the Hursley Hambledon pack of English Foxhounds in their lodges.
Amid the early morning excitement of the pack, Kennel huntsman Keiran gives an insight into pack life. He explains that there's no a particular "top dog" among the boys. The social hierarchy is more complex and changeable among the girls. Surprisingly, the individual canine most "in charge" is not a foxhound at all - but a pint-sized terrier called Poppy.
With at least one, occasionally two litters a year, scenting talent and knowhow is passed down the generations within the pack over time, as older hounds retire and the youngsters join. Kieran's affection for the hounds is evident. When pressed, he admits to having a favourite, who will live with him as a pet once she retires.

For this weeks' episode of Mental Wellbeing Wednesday, Abi Phillips met with Nic Dove ahead of the launch of her first book which is taking place at One Tree Books on 7th November. Little Bird and the sky that got Bigger is a children’s story around understanding grief and the complexities of those emotions. Nic was very open about her own experience of grief after losing her parents and how her journey inspired her to start an online community for bereaved people to share and support each other. After some training, she eventually went on to open a private counselling practice in Rake and that has led her to write Little Bird. The book has been illustrated by local artist Freya Thompson. Both Nic and Freya are excited to meet lots of friendly faces at the launch!

The NHS says, immunisation protects you from flu and Covid.
It also means if you do become ill, it's likely to be milder and you’re less likely to end up in hospital.
Dr Matt Nisbit, a GP in Basingstoke, is leading the drive for the jabs across Hampshire.
He has been a GP partner at Crown Heights Medical Centre since 2010.
He has provided clinical support to the Hampshire and Isle of Wight COVID-19 Vaccine programme since 2019, taking on the role of clinical lead for the programme in 2021.
A particular prioritythis year is vaccinating pregnant women who are at increased risk of complications from COVID-19 and flu but may not see themselves as being so.
Last year 38 per cent of pregnant women came forward to have their vaccination, compared to 51 per cent in 2021.
Women who are 28 weeks or more pregnant, and people aged 75 to 79, are also being invited to come forward and have their respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine.
People can book their flu and COVID-19 vaccine via the NHS website, by downloading the NHS App, or by calling 119 free if they cannot get online.

After the heating allowance controversy, Age Concern Petersfield are encouraging people to apply for pension credits
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) told Shine radio (see below for full quote) that applications are up 115% and recommend people claim online, or be helped by a friend or relative or use the helpline where the caller is guided through the claim process.
Age Concern's local manager, Sheridan Rocher, spoke to Mike Waddington about it. She said people can call her or pop in to Winton House for information.
The DWP said: “To ensure Pension Credit is accessible for all, applications can be made online at GOV.UK, over the phone, or via a paper application form.
“For anyone concerned about the paper application process, we would recommend they either claim online – the service is available 24/7 every day of the year and can be completed with a friend or relative – or by telephone where the caller is guided through the claim process.
“There has been an 115% increase in Pension Credit claims in the last five weeks compared to the five weeks before and we have surged additional staff to respond to applications. We urge anyone who thinks they may be entitled to Pension Credit to check now.”
- On September 2, we launched our Pension Credit Week of Action, joining forces with charities, broadcasters, Local Authorities, and a range of partners to encourage pensioners to check their eligibility and apply.
- There has been a 115% increase in Pension Credit claims in the past five weeks compared to the five weeks before.
- We have surged additional staff to cover increasing Pension Credit calls and urge anyone who thinks they may be entitled to Pension Credit to check now.
- By far the most popular way to claim Pension Credit is online, followed by the telephone.
- Approximately eighty percent of all customers use the online claim form.
- The maximum number of questions you need to complete is 48. For some customers it can be as few as 35 questions.
- It is an intuitive system with additional questions dependent on your circumstances such as if claiming with a partner.
- For accessibility purposes we also make available a paper form by its very nature this cannot be intuitive and therefore is longer.
- For anyone concerned about the paper application process, we would recommend they either claim online – the service is available 24/7 every day of the year and can be completed with a friend or relative – or by telephone where the caller is guided through the claim process.
- Apply by phone using the Pension Credit claim line: 0800 99 1234

Daisie is a black Labrador retriever, who works as an "ambassadog" for the assistance dog charity, Canine Partners.
Daisie and her handler, Ellie Chadwick, demonstrate to the general public the various tasks that an assistance may do to support its disabled human handler. They do this on a voluntary basis at weekends at country shows and other events all over the country, as part of the charity's fundraising efforts.
Ellie's day job is also within Canine Partners, and she has spent her career to date working with and training support dogs.
This is linked to the last Dogs with Jobs episode, which focused on the canine/human partnership in action - that of eight year old golden retriever, Darcey and her human partner, Wren Rawlings. They have been partnered for seven years, and Wren gives an articulate and nuanced account of their relationship and how it has evolved and changed his life. By coincidence, Ellie, whom we hear from in this episode, is the Canine Partners liaison link with Darcey and Wren - making this episode a companion piece.
Recorded at the South Downs Show, 2024.

Darcey, the golden Labrador retriever has been partnered with illustrator and teaching assistant, Wren Rawlings for over six years.
Wren explains to presenter Kate Fairweather what Darcey does for him and how the partnership has seen him through a roller coaster seven years. Having had pretty normal health through his childhood and teenage years, Wren was struck with life-altering illness when he was a university student, which left him disabled.
The partnership is one of Canine Partners' many successes: Wren starts a teaching job in September and is getting married in a month after that - with Darcey as ring bearer, at the heart of the ceremony in October.
It’s a life affirming tale of triumph over adversity. Darcey was trained specifically for Wren by Canine Partners, the support dog charity.

This very special episode of The Ticket is linked to the PeCAN (Petersfield Climate Action Network) Story Writing Competition for young people, organised by Shine Radio's Suzie Wilde.
As a fiction author, and teacher of creative writing to all ages, Suzie observed the careful awe most children have for the natural world. It can be a struggle for adults to regain their honesty and directness and she thought it would be fun for our youngsters to have a go at both Fiction and Non Fiction, and be inspirational. Our winners certainly are!
Judging Non Fiction was Roger Morgan-Grenville, who was the April guest author in Shine Radio’s Talking Books podcast, with Tim O’Kelly of One Tree Books. Roger is passionate about the natural world and his books show that quality of putting the reader in the exact time and place. PeCAN provided the prizes for this category.
The Fiction judge is also an author who writes with clarity and purpose. Barbara Henderson lives and works in Scotland and writes for young people, and on her many school visits she helps them combine good storytelling with the natural world. She was the June guest on Talking Books. One Tree Books awarded book tokens to the winner and runner-up.
Suzie hopes these young people inspire us to look at what’s around us with fresh eyes, so that appreciation of our South Downs home makes us truly nurture it.

Mika is one of two wellbeing and trauma support dogs working in London's Metropolitan Police supporting officers' wellbeing, often in the face of trauma and emotionally challenging work.
As a working chocolate Labrador, she's a distinctive presence and something of a one off, recruited specifically for healing work.
One reason that Mika and her canine colleague, Dexter and their handlers are interesting is that they and their handlers are on the payroll. The therapy dog model is well established in the UK, but these dogs are part of the mental health support structure, and perform a key role in signposting further support, as P.C. Morgan Heath explains to Dogs with Jobs presenter Kate Fairweather.
As so often with wellbeing and emotional support dogs, the initiative emerged organically, rather as it did with other emotional support dogs we've featured on the podcast (details below).
Handler, P.C. Morgan Heath tells the story of Mika and the original trauma support dog, Dexter, came to the Met, which has the largest dog section and breeding programme in the country.
It's a moving tale, which has its origins in the Covid lockdown. Morgan herself has experienced healing - she was formerly an officer in the mounted police before joining the dog section in a mental health support role.
Recorded at Goodwoof 2024, on the Goodwood Estate in Sussex.

A window into the world of forensic police dogs within the Metropolitan Police, the UK's largest urban police force.
Police Constable Clyde Charlesworth has worked forensic dogs for over 15 years, having worked on many significant UK disasters, such as the collapse of Grenfell tower in London, the Croydon tram crash, searches for missing persons Sarah Everard, April Jones, Alice Gross.
Clyde talks to Dogs with Jobs presenter, Kate Fairweather in between displays in the arena at Goodwoof 2024, and explains the scope of work within this scent detection discipline. Forensic dogs' work is vital in finding evidence to support convictions for violent crime.
Clyde currently has three dogs - General Purpose Police Dog Bonnie, a black German Shepherd and two spaniels - Rambo, the forensic dog, and Jeff the trainee forensic dog. Clyde also talks about Rambo's sub-specialism, finding bodies in water.
Despite the sad circumstances in which Rambo and others like him work, this is a low key, relaxed listen, and was recorded in the beautiful surroundings of the Goodwood Estate, at the dog event, Goodwoof 2024.

Six year Ninja is probably the best known proponent of "barkour" (parkour for dogs) in the world. Owner and handler Dominik Arend used to teach parkour to children in his native Germany, but Ninja and he now work professionally together.
Parkour, also known as free-running or l'art du déplacement (art of movement) originated in France and is a discipline, which demands both athleticism and artistic expression. The urban environment is viewed as an obstacle course to be engaged with in one’s own individual, often gymnastic style.
Dominik is eloquent and fascinating on the activity that has turned into a career for them both and how their relationship has developed over their shared working life, which clearly suits them.
Barkour's popularity is such, that Ninja and Dominik have almost half a million followers on Instagram and recently found themselves performing at Goodwoof, on the Goodwood Estate in Sussex. Dogs with Jobs presenter Kate Fairweather caught up with them both backstage.
Thanks to Dominik for taking time to chat (@parkour.ninja on Instagram).
Thanks to Noni Needs (@nonineedsmedia on Instagram) for the photo.
Find out more about Goodwoof.
Do you work your dog or dogs?

Meet talented youngster, Police Dog Meika, of London's Metropolitan Police' Dog Section.
A week shy of her second birthday, Springer spaniel Meika is already trained in detection work across several disciplines, including drugs, firearms and cash detection.
Police Constable Emma Robling explains some of the training and demands on Meika, as well as what a working day looks like. She also gives some context - the Met has its own breeding scheme and lays claim to the UK's biggest urban police dog section, with a dizzying variety of specialist search disciplines. Meika and Emma are part of one of four teams on duty at any given time in London.
Recorded at Goodwoof, the annual dog event held on the Goodwood Estate, where Meika and Emma were part of an arena display put on by the Metropolitan Police Dog Section. Thanks to Emma for taking a few minutes to talk about Meika's talents and work.
Thanks to Noni Needs (@nonineedsmedia on IG) for the photo.

We hear a lot about breeding in working dogs. Yet we know little about their brains:
- How might a guide dog’s brain differ from that of a hunting hound?
- Where does personality fit in with a working dog?
- Can a dog have ADHD?
Kate Fairweather asks these questions and more of Sophie Barton of the Canine Brains Project, based in the Hecht Lab at Harvard University in Boston.
Sophie oversees the Working Breed Study at the Canine Brains Project. This is a non-invasive brain imaging study into selected working breeds. A major goal of this research is to benefit the working dog community by improving breeding and training practices.
- Participate in The Working Breeds Study
- More about the Canine Brains Project
Do you work your dog or dogs?
Get in touch with Kate via team@shineradio.uk if you have a dog that does an interesting job. She loves to hear about working dogs.
Also, if you have suggestions for guests for the podcast - either handlers or people who are working in an academic or training area in this field, please do get in touch!

The annual meeting of the town saw some of Petersfield's residents awarded for their contributions to the community. Hear some of them and their reaction in this report by Shine Radio's Julie Butler.
The meeting was also disrupted by activists from outside Petersfield. They tried to prevent the Police and Crime Commissioner Donna Jones from giving a report during the current pre-election "purdah" period.
Howard Linsley of Labour and Don Gerrard of the self-styled Justice & Anti-Corruption party came to our town from Liss and Greatham respectively.
Mr Linsley attempted to derail the running of the civic event. He backs a rival candidate to Ms Jones while Mr Gerrard is standing himself in the PCC elections. You can see all the candidates at https://shineradio.uk/2024/04/who-are-the-police-and-crime-commissioner-candidates/
The Town Council says it took legal advice from the Local Government Association and stands by its decision to invite Ms Jones to deliver a report as planned.
Hear what happened and how the activists defend their actions.

2 years of war in Ukraine
In this edition we will talk about how to start living again after your life has stopped after the start of the war.
"This is a podcast where we can talk with you about different problems, about different lives and how we live abroad. This is for us Ukrainians. I remind you that I have been in Britain since June 2022 and have lived through various different stages of my life. The first year was the most difficult, when you feel that you can't get out of bed, you can't do any work, and everyone is trying to help you, but you just don't have the strength for it. If you have friends or colleagues from Ukraine, if your children go to school or kindergarten together with Ukrainian children - send this link to the podcast. Thank you very much" - shares the Ukrainian and the author of the podcast Iva Repnytska.

Medicine in Britain is regulated by the National Health Service (NHS). It is a state-funded system. It provides free or low-cost healthcare to all citizens and permanent residents of the United Kingdom.
Ukrainians can also receive such assistance, also free of charge. The system is financed from taxes that citizens "automatically" pay, and not from private insurance. In Germany, for example, there is insurance medicine.

Explosives detection work is a highly specialised discipline within the police, and the stakes are high.
On this episode of Dogs with Jobs, we meet Police Dog Ted, one of 17 explosive detection dogs working within the West Midlands Police Service, one of the largest urban police forces in the UK, which even has its own breeding scheme.
Ted's handler, Police Constable Damo Smart, has over 21 years' experience as a police dog handler and instructor. Damo was part of the West Midlands Police display team in the Crufts arena with dozens of police colleagues and dogs.
Performance over, he joins Dogs with Jobs presenter Kate Fairweather in the press room at Crufts to talk about P.D. Ted, and where such specialised police dogs fit into the overall framework and resources within the police service.
Travel sickness is a no-no for explo dogs, who must be away from home for big sports events and royal occasions as part of the job. Damo explains why it also takes a certain attitude from the handler to work these dogs, given the high stakes involved. So a steady attitude and the ability to relax once the work is over is key.
Damo explains what he looks for in an explo dog and what it takes to search at this level - and to search safely.

It includes Fondue, Raclette and La Tartiflette. All very cheesy.
Never off-duty, when Noni Needs went on a Girl Powder Mountain retreat to Chamonix, France she persuaded Laura Mariottt-Clarke to record a French foodie inspiration for the Shine Radio listeners.
Raclette, the French way, in France after a day in the mountains, listen here.

Meet Bakersfield and Strike, as they relax in the dressing room, during a break between performances. These two collies are competing at the highest level in the Heelwork to Music competition at Crufts, the world's biggest dog show.
It's a glamorous business, yet the atmosphere in the dressing room is cosy and good natured. Both handlers are veterans of the heelwork to music competition, with many appearances at Cruft behind them.
Bakersfield's handler, Lucy Creek, explains what the sport entails and how she fell into it. To do well, her dogs have a focus and energy that marks them out from being tiny puppies. Lucy explains how distractions in the arena might call for a bit of improvisation on the fly.
Heelwork to music demands precision movement from the dog. The freestyle round allows plenty of room for humour and artistic inspiration and the individual performances are very different from each other, so a delight to watch from the arena side.
It's the first time Strike has performed at Crufts, but his handler, Lucy Heath has been here 16 times with various dogs, performing in the heel work to music category. She's honouring her last, beloved dog by choosing her favourite medley from the musical, Grease for the freestyle. With Spike by her side, their performance is a huge crowd pleaser.

As a furniture designer in Hampshire for the past 8 years, the provenance of the timber used in Charles Dedman's work has always been a point of interest and importance.
That's why he is excited to be fundraising for Woodland Heritage, an organisation that promotes sustainable forestry in the UK through education and research.
Its work ensures that woodlands are enjoyed and used by woodworkers and nature lovers for generations to come.
To support this cause, he is taking a 9-week sabbatical break from emails and deadlines at Gaze Burvill to tackle arguably the UK's hardest trekking route - the South West Coast Path aka The Salt Path.
This personal trek will test his mental and physical ability to the max, traversing 630 miles of coastline from Minehead in Somerset to Poole in Dorset.
Along the way, he will be taking in some of the most beautiful beaches, paths, and woodlands and sharing it with Shine Radio listeners.

Nicholas Lees' sculpture is in galleries all over the world, from Italy, New York City, Germany, New Zealand and now Petersfield Museum and Art Gallery, Hampshire.
On a studio visit to Selbourne, Nicholas Lees tells Noni Needs about his 30 year career working as a contemporary artist in ceramics.
Lees' practice for the last 10 years has explored the properties, virtues and difficulties of producing bodies of work in porcelain.
Primarily carving into thrown porcelain forms with a lathe and using soluble metals to produce magical colour at the edges of his sculpture, '...that are sucked through the porcelain in the firing process,' says Lees.
His new body of work, Flux work involves making two finely crafted objects of porcelain look like one has melted into the other, and at the point of contact being frozen in time and space.
The exhibition also includes rarely displayed ink drawings that Lees produces in parallel to his ceramic work that reflect the same process and themes.
Nicholas lees: Abstract Vessels opens on September 19, Petersfield Museum and Art Gallery running to November 18.

Clanfield Parish Council is seeking the views of residents on the prospect of the Parish Council selling Down Farm Barn, locally known as the Crimea barn, and its surrounds for residential development. This would be subject to planning permission and a covenant requiring key features of the existing barn buildings to be incorporated into the scheme.
Dave Harris says told Phill Humphries of Shine Radio "The debate to get to this stage has been a complex and difficult one, trying to balance cost and viability with conservation and historical factors." As this is a significant change of direction from the original plan to “Save Crimea Barn”, they wish to consult with residents in order to gather opinions on this course of action.
A form for your feedback is available on the parish council website https://www.clanfieldpc.org.uk/

Maya Binkin curator of the Eve Arnold photographic exhibition, To Know About Women talks to Noni Needs about this photojournalist exhibition.
Eve Arnold is behind some of the most iconic photographs of our time, born in 1912 in Philadelphia USA, she died in 2012, two weeks short of her 100th birthday.
She documented Social justice, Harlem ladies' fashion shows, women behind the veil series, people in China, and behind the scenes in a hospital to photograph birth. All ground breaking at the time.
Maya said: "She knew how to be present and disappear in a room too. She built professional relationships with her subjects that developed into friendships like Malcolm X and Marylin Munroe, who she photographed for 10 years."
Listen here to Maya's myths behind the legend who is Eve Arnold.
‘To Know About Women: The Photography of Eve Arnold’ opened at Newlands House, West Sussex on 1st July runs to 7th January 2024. newlandshouse.gallery

Meet a working rat pack of Sealyham terriers, a Welsh breed, which is teetering on the edge of extinction.
Recorded at the Game Fair 2023 at Ragley Hall, interviewee Harry Parsons is known by many for his work in keeping the Sealyham terrier breed viable. He has a pack of 30 at home, and has dedicated the last several decades to this engaging, intelligent terrier. With fewer than 140 puppies born last year, the Sealyham terrier is well under the 300 puppies a year threshold for being designated a "vulnerable breed".
Harry talks to presenter Kate Fairweather about what he looks for in a terrier as well as the logistics of organising a rat hunt, which remains fully legal under the UK's Hunting Act. He explains that using terriers remains the only alternative to poison for keeping down vermin, particularly in agricultural settings.
Clearly devoted to his Sealyhams, he explains how he keeps them from overheating or getting overexcited while working, and how he sees the breed's future.
Find out more about Harry's work with Sealyham terriers.

Champ is a six year old yellow Labrador retriever working full time as an engagement dog within the Australian police.
It's an office-based role, five days a week for Champ, who supports the police officers' wellbeing within the Victorian Joint Anti Child Exploitation Team (JACET), which falls under the aegis of the Victoria police, but which also works collaboratively with other agencies in child protection within the state and nationally.
Like emotional support or well being dog programmes elsewhere, Champ’s job wasn’t necessarily part of a strategy at the start, but grew organically and, as the interview makes clear, was made possible thanks to the generosity of Tessa Stowe of K9Support.com.au.
What is notable here is how Champ’s role has been surveyed, monitored and embraced by the organisation as a whole. His welfare is as much part of the approach as that of the officers he supports, and it makes the model look sustainable over time.
Champ’s role is not just a job - it’s a prototype for how police and other emergency services could look at harnessing the emotional welfare benefits of canine company in the workplaces, in Australia and elsewhere.

As country show season begins in the UK, this month on Dogs with Jobs, we’re seeing some of the top working beagles.
Eleven packs are competing in the South of England Hound Show, which takes place in June each year under the auspices of the South of England Show near Ardingly. It's a timeless scene - show judges wear bowler hats and white coats and the event observes customs that have changed little in centuries.
Lifelong beagle enthusiast Matthew Higgs chats to Dogs with Jobs presenter Kate Fairweather from a shady spot by the side of the show ring.
Matthew talks us through the classes. He explains what the judges look for and the qualities required to win a coveted winner’s rosette.
Matthew discovered beagles as a teenager and has never looked back. His entire family are involved in beagling, and they all “puppy walk”. This means hosting two or more beagle puppies in much the same way as assistance dog pups spend time with a family to find themselves as individuals, before they start their working lives.

- Meet the Beagles! Hear from a kennel huntsman on working - and essentially living with - 51 beagles, recorded at the Alresford Show.

Have you ever wondered what assistance dogs' lives are like before they start work?
This month we visit the charity, Medical Detection Dogs and meet the many young dogs in training for medical alert assistance work, who are working towards being placed with a human partner.
The working dogs all live with families and volunteer fosterers at night and for the weekend. In the morning, the various detection dogs are dropped off at work, and the trainee medical alert assistance dogs arrive for training.
Gemma Butlin of Medical Detection Dogs explains to Dogs with Jobs presenter Kate Fairweather how the charity keeps its many dogs relaxed and happy during their training, and what a typical day looks like for the charity's trainee medical alert assistance dogs.
We hear from "puppy picker" Chris, who explains the qualities he looks for in very small puppies, and how they will be gently introduced to a range of stimuli - from hairdryers to tractors.
A varied and exciting puppyhood is a key factor in developing the steadfastiness that will be required of the dogs once they start work with their human partners.
Connected episodes:
- Hear Plum the e-coli detection dog at work at the charity's training centre
- Meet Dr. Claire Guest and her three bio detection dogs as she describes how labrador Daisy detected her breast cancer, and inspired the charity, Medical Detection Dogs
- Hear Simone Brainch of the charity Medical Detection Dogs on medical alert dogs

"No mow May" has been observed all over Hampshire this year, but not in two of our cooler villages.
Privett and Froxfield parishes are now in charge of when to mow their verges. They’re the first parishes to do this - they negotiated with county to take control of their own verges.
With visibility important for road safety on the lanes around the villages, it is a regulated area.
Teresa Brown, the Privett Parish Councillor responsible for verges, explains how and why the villages have gone out on their own.

In the first of a two part series, this month, Dogs with Jobs presenter Kate Fairweather visits the charity, Medical Detection Dogs and hears from its CEO, Dr. Claire Guest.
Claire led the team responsible for the world’s first study of canine detection of bladder cancer, which was published in the BMJ in September 2004. She founded the charity on little more than anecdotes and what was at the time - despite being published in the BMJ - considered to be an eccentric conviction that dogs' olfactory superpowers could bring something new to the table in cancer research.
In a wide ranging conversation, Claire talks candidly about how her first dog, Daisy, detected her own breast cancer. She explains the charity's work in the key area of bio detection (the other is medical alert assistance dogs, which will be the subject of a future episode). Currently, the charity is
We meet Claire's three pet dogs, who work as detection dogs at the charity's headquarters.
- Florin is a red Labrador, whose detection work data is being shared with a research team at M.I.T. in Boston to help them understand and ‘map’ how a dog perceives “bio markers” - which means the subtle changes in scent that indicate the changes in a human body caused by cancer or other disease. The data is feeding into the creation of an effective artificial intelligence algorithm for prostate cancer detection.
- Iggy and Asher are rescue dogs, for whom life as a pet didn't work out and who have settled since being given a job. Superstar Asher started on malaria and moved onto Covid-19. (It is unusual it is rare to be redeployed in this line of work and bio detection dogs tend to specialise for their whole career.
In the next, linked episode, we'll be meeting Plum, who specialises in E-Coli detection, and hearing her working at the training centre.

A bonus edition of Dogs with Jobs - from the Big Apple! Presenter Kate Fairweather was in New York in April and ran into Caboose, unobtrusively doing his job at Manhattan's Staten Island Ferry Terminal.
Meet Caboose, a yellow Labrador as he works the late shift with his owner Michael from 9pm to 5am the next morning. Working with at least two other canine colleagues at any one time, he makes sure that any luggage, panniers or backpacks passing through this important transport hub are clear of explosives.
Like many professional dog handlers working in law enforcement, Caboose's handler was formerly a dog handler in the U.S. marines. He talks about what a working day looks like for Caboose. The partners work through an agency and so can be deployed anywhere, but Caboose and Michael's regular patrol patch is the ferry terminal, where there are at least three dogs patrolling at any one time.

Welcome to Shine Radio Sky Watch, a monthly summary of night sky events for stargazers in and around Petersfield.
Our town and surrounding area has the distinction of being located in the South Downs National Park which is designated an International Dark Sky Reserve. That means we don't have far to go to enjoy the wonders of the night sky and there's always something of interest coming up every month. 'Sky Watch' shows you when and where to look!
During May the nights are distinctly shorter in our part of the world. The Sun sets around 9pm and rises again before 6am. You'll need to either be out late or very early to observe the night sky, but at least the conditions are warmer and less cloudy than previous months!
This year, on May 6th, is uniquely distinguished by the coronation of King Charles the 3rd. So what better opportunity to take a look at the constellation of the Northern Crown and the star dubbed Charles' Heart? Here's how to find them...

Meet Labradors Bess and Buster, trained by police in the UK for detection work in the fight against illegal wildlife trade in Thailand.
Bess and Buster will be combating the trafficking of the Critically Endangered pangolin, the worlds only scaly mammal. Thailand is a key trafficking route for both alive and dead pangolins to China and Vietnam, where there is a ready market for their scales and meat.
Grant Miller of ZSL talks to Dogs with Jobs presenter Kate Fairweather about the conservation context and why pangolins matter. He describes what lies ahead for Buster and Bess, who will join the conservation charity’s team of experts in Thailand and work alongside conservationists, border force operatives and Thailand's own police and law enforcement.
International collaboration
The pair are just one element of a multi-prong approach orchestrated by the conservation charity, the Zoological Society of London (ZSL). It is an excitingly collaborative effort, involving the dog training instruction team at the UK's Metropolitan Police, ZSL and Thailand's own law enforcement. Grant explains the knowledge transfer going on, with modern dog training best practices being shared with local conservation workers.
The dogs' initial training in the UK - which both passed with flying colours - will be completed in Thailand, where the scents they’ve been training with will be mixed with pangolin scales and eventually be withdrawn entirely. At this stage, Bess and Buster will be ready to work in the field with expert local handlers to detect the scent of pangolins being smuggled at airports, ports and roads, so the pangolins can be rescued and released back into the wild.
Why Pangolins?
All eight species of pangolin are on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species and considered threatened with extinction. Although a total ban on commercial trade in pangolins was introduced in 2017, the world’s only scaly mammal is victim to highly unsustainable levels of poaching and illegal trade for their meat, scales and other body parts – with 200,000 pangolins believed to be trafficked every year.
Find out more about ZSL's conservation work.

Keo works as an OK9 dog through the police wellbeing charity, Oscar Kilo.
Keo was smuggled to the UK during the lockdown in 2020 - a time when the price of puppies was soaring, and a black market in puppies flourishing. He was rescued byt eh police, and was eventually adopted by IT specialist Scott Parker, who works for the Gloucester Constabulary.
Scott has had his own mental health journey, and he and Keo (who still dislikes lorries) have developed a remarkable bond, which has benefited them both. Scott is fully trained as a mental health support worker within the police force and Keo trots by his side as a well-being support dog.

Keo's individual story is one of triumph over adversity, helped by and helping his owner, Scott. We hope to capture the big picture too, and profile the work of the OK9 charity one year on from its creation, over the coming months.

The lovely sunny daffodils in March remind us of sunny days to come and this month is all about preparing for the sowing frenzy of April.

Written by Petersphere resident, astronomical expert and amateur astronomer Geoff Burt, every month Shine Radio will present a Sky Watch of our unique dark skies.
March welcomes the transition from Winter to Spring in the Northern Hemisphere and the Moon will reach Full phase on the 6th. Known as the 'Lenten Moon' it will be the last one before the Spring Equinox. March is also the last opportunity to view the Winter constellation of Orion the Hunter before it sets in the west with the sunset. Look out this month also for Venus and Jupiter and even a glimpse of the International Space Station.
Sky Watch will open up the wonder of the Petersphere night sky for magical star-gazing on your doorstep.

Join Giglee, the truffle hunter as he searches for English truffle - the elusive, exclusive and very expensive underground fungus.
This month on Dogs with Jobs, Kate Fairweather goes truffle hunting with Giglee and his owner Tom Lywood.
Giglee is a Lagotta Romagnolo, an ancient breed that originated in Italy's Po Valley. This area was marshland in the sixteenth century, when the breed was used to hunt water fowl. Nowadays, the breed is very much associated with truffle hunting in Italy. It's a treat to meet one, as they are a rarity in the UK.
At one year old, Giglee is not yet a reliable hunter in comparison with Tom's three year old dog, Tobacco. He's easily distracted, but now he's going out hunting with Tom on his own, he's stepping up and starting to perform.
This interview was recorded during a cold snap in late January, with temperatures of -7°C overnight, which was far from ideal conditions. Will the ground be too frozen to detect and dig truffles? Find out in this month's Dogs with Jobs.
Browse Dogs with Jobs for other talented working dogs on Petersfield's Shine Radio.
Do you work your dog or dogs?
If you would be interested in coming on Dogs with Jobs, please get in touch with Kate at team@shineradio.uk or call 10730 555 500. Kate is particularly keen to interview a sniffer dog!

A local chimney sweep is reassuring Petersfield householders after a string of scare stories about wood burners.
False suggestions have circulated on social media that new legislation could ban the stoves.
It's true the government has introduced fines for using the most polluting fires and the wrong fuel, and new rules mean certain types of wood are being restricted from sale to help reduce emissions.
But Meon Valley sweep Katie Foster says if you burn seasoned logs properly you have nothing to worry about:
Hear Katie explain what's changing and how to ensure you can use a wood burner cleanly if that's how you heat your home.

A group of Petersfield women has taken its call for action on carbon emissions into the open air.
The self-styled Women Of This Town believe local authorities haven’t done enough on sustainability, despite supporting the notion of a climate emergency.
They now stand in The Square every Tuesday morning to make their point.
The group says its demonstration is not a protest. Its members point out they use "no whistles, banners or glue" and say they're not affiliated with any campaign group or political movement.
The women spend an hour standing by the statue every Tuesday morning, before heading to the Winton House eco-cafe to warm-up with a hot drink.
Ali, Anna, Katie and Jenny explained their actions in this audio. Shine Radio's Stephen Martin is listening to them.

Meet Mabel, a glorious fudge-brown cockapoo (cocker spaniel and poodle cross) who works as an emotional support dog in the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Fire Service.
Mabel is interesting on two levels: first, for the role she's in currently, as the first emotional support dog in this fire service. Three of the UK's 17 fire investigation search dogs are also in Hampshire (we featured Louis the fire dog in 2022). So it's a regional fire service with a lot of knowhow around working dogs.
Secondly, she's also pilot testing how emotional support dogs could be deployed within this traditional and hierarchical emergency service. We've heard of emotional support dogs in other regions' fire services such as Avon and Scotland, but not too many.
Mabel's owner is the Chief Fire Officer, Neil Odin, who combines a strategic overview of the organisation as a whole with a thorough understanding of working dogs. He describes the difference Mabel makes to his working life to Dogs with Jobs presenter Kate Fairweather and explains how he thinks emotional support dogs could be integrated into a modern Fire Service.
You can find more information on Mabel, photos etc on the episode webpage shineradio.uk/dogswithjobs.
Do you work your dog or dogs?
If you would be interested in coming on the show, please get in touch with Kate at team@shineradio.uk or call 10730 555 500. Kate is particularly keen to interview a sniffer dog!

A Ditcham Park School student who won a competition to provide lead vocals for a couple of Shine Radio's new jingles has heard the end result.
Towards the end of last year, Petersfield’s Shine Radio offered a unique opportunity for one talented young vocalist, who is a student at a local secondary school, to become part of the radio station’s new musical identity.
15 year-old Daisy Browning was the successful applicant and received professional tips on session singing from world-class vocal coach Kim Chandler ahead of the recording session at Churcher's College music studio just before Christmas directed by one of the UK’s leading specialist jingles producers, Chris Stevens.
Shine Radio's Harrison RB said: "Petersfield’s schools are bursting with musical talent and the town’s own local radio station is the natural platform for getting it heard.
"We were very excited to be taking our championing of local talent to a new level and received lots of brilliant entries.
"Daisy's voice is the perfect fit for the bright feel of Shine Radio and we're delighted to have her voice as an essential part of our new sound."
A delighted Daisy said: "I thought the competition would give me new experiences in music. I love music, I love jazz."
On Thursday 26 January, Daisy and Ditcham Park's Head of Music Ed Williamson heard her recordings on Shine Radio for the very first time.

Meet Cashel, an autism assistance dog who joined his owner Leo Long during the pandemic, when he was a 17 year old sixth form student.
Three years on, cavapoo Cashel's working life looks very different. Lockdown is mercifully a distant memory, and Leo's acting career has taken off. Leo has recently starred as a gifted young autistic drummer in the feel good Netflix hit, "I used to be Famous", performed Shakespeare on the London stage and taken a role in an ITV4 series.
Dogs with Jobs presenter Kate Fairweather hears about how Cashel came into Leo's life, their developing partnership and how he helps Leo with daily life.
We've featured an autism assistance dog previously on Dogs with Jobs, through an interview with its trainer and mother of its human partner. This episode hears first hand from autistic actor and musician Leo about his lived experience with Cashel, and the difference an autism assistance dog makes to his life.
Cashel was trained and placed with Leo by the charity Dogs for Autism.

You rarely hear about bloodhound packs, because they are entirely uncontroversial. It's also a relatively new sport - there are barely a dozen packs in the UK. So this is something of a scoop!
Every Sunday, volunteer "quarries" pull on their trainers and run around 5km or so, following a route that has been pre-agreed with the landowners. Their mission is to outrun and outwit the bloodhounds, zig-zagging across the Hampshire countryside in order to throw them off the scent. It's rare that that they succeed.
Bloodhounds are the undisputed kings of the scenting world. Their scenting abilities are so superior that they can distinguish between the scent of individual humans.
in this month's Dogs with Jobs, Kate Fairweather meets Jeremy Whaley, who is both senior joint Master and Huntsman of the South Downs Bloodhounds. He gives a rarely heard and remarkable insight into the working lives of his pack, which he started almost a decade ago.
Do you work your dog or dogs?

How many councillors does it take to make us safe?
East Hampshire councillors Russell Oppenheimer, Julie Butler and Robert Mocatta invited Hampshire County Councillor Nick Adams-King to inspect the fatal junction where Pulens Lane and Durford Road meet.
Last year a woman died at the crossroads.
Meanwhile, Petersfield Town Councillors have organised a speed alert sign which flashes to show your speed when you drive towards the accident flashpoint.
Local residents want urgent changes to reduce the number of collisions and prevent another death. But it's been six years since the issue was first acknowledged by local authorities and still little has changed.
Now, the visiting elected representatives suggest any work could take a further 18 months to implement.
They are speaking to Shine Radio's Jo Gray.

Despite a courageous fight in hospital, Maddy tragically died of sepsis, two weeks after her injury. She was bright, loving and sporty, described by friends as a shining light in their lives. She was certainly a shining light in our close and small family and her passing has left a gap that can never be filled."

This month’s guest is Clover, a liver and white springer spaniel. The interview was recorded at the South Downs Show in August, where Clover was demonstrating her talents as part of the Hamble and Hound Gun dog club.
Presenter Kate Fairweather chats to Jo Bennett about Clover, the first springer spaniel she ever owned. Clover’s need to work soon became apparent, and Jo started gun dog training as a way of keeping her stimulated and happy. It wasn’t long before Clover’s natural talent showed itself, and Jo has competed with this lovely spaniel to considerable success in scurries (scurries are competitions, in which gun dogs have to find and retrieve a series of lures in a certain order, working against the clock).
Doing demonstrations with other gun dogs at country shows is part of Clover’s working life. Jo explains how working breeds need mental stimulation as well as exercise, and discusses training tips for keeping clever dogs stimulated and happy.
Do you work your dog or dogs? If you would be interested in coming on the show, please get in touch with Kate at team@shineradio.uk or call 10730 555 500. (Kate is particularly keen to interview a sniffer dog!)

Meet Little Nippers, a performing troupe of terriers and lurchers, who work the country fairs all over the UK.
Their entertaining performance at country shows educates the public and demonstrates the lost sport of coursing, using an electric lure. Coursing is the hunting of game such as hares with greyhounds, which use sight rather than scent, and has been banned in the UK since 2004.
Phil Gibbons talks about life on the road with his 10 dogs to Dogs with Jobs presenter Kate Fairweather. Nothing is too good for his beloved dogs, who have a comfortable movie-star style trailer when on the road, but are very much family pets when at home.
Do you work your dog or dogs? Please get in touch with Kate Fairweather to be on the podcast by emailing team@shineradio.uk.

Kevin also uses the car to raise money for charity, most recently Dementia Support at his book launch at Goodwood on a track day.

Being obsessed with cycling is one thing but inspiring others with your madness to take on such a life- changing challenge as Le loop is quite another.
Tom Hall of Alitex in South Harting is an all weather cyclist. He took a peloton of his Alitex team to complete two stages of Le loop. It follows the exact route of the The Tour de France a week ahead of it. Le Loop offers the opportunity for amateur cyclists to tackle anything from 2 to all 21 stages of the Tour de France each year, fully supported, one week ahead of the pros.
The Alitex team did 2 stages. Tom tells Noni why they do it, what they expect to get out of it. Listen here to be inspired - do you want to give it a go yourself?
Places go on sale from July the year before and the event usually sells out. Please visit the Le Loop website https://wwmt.rideleloop.org/ Alitex https://www.alitex.co.uk/

This month, Olivia and Mia will be talking to Liss Junior School’s Eco Council. We will be discussing their green roof, what it takes to be an eco councillor, and their latest climate youth project with Queen Elizabeth Country Park. Keep an ear out for the school assembly singing Mamma Mia in the background!
Also coming up, Olivia and Mia will be discussing whether a good old-fashioned greenhouse is better than the polytunnel. With a quick-fire round, it’s a discussion to keep you on the edge of your seats. All we’ll say is that the answer very much depends on if you value looks over personality!
From recommending the local plastic free shop - Refill and Replenish to discussing how you might want to consider switching your flours, it’s an episode to sit back and enjoy!

Meet Louis, a talented springer spaniel, who works for the Hampshire Fire Service.
Louis is a Fire Investigation & Search Dog and is trained to sniff out the presence of flammable materials efficiently and with outstanding accuracy in minutes, where humans might take days to cover the same area. There are just 17 working fire dogs in the whole of the UK, making Louis a rarity and something of a scoop for Dogs with Jobs.
Louis' career success is heartwarming, since he was made homeless at less than a year old. His original family simply couldn’t cope with his high energy and what dog handlers call “play drive”.
He was rescued by veteran dog handler and firefighter Sean White. Sean knew that Louis craved mental and physical stimulation, and that a job would allow him to channel all that energy in a productive way.
Sean describes how Louis joined the fire service as a trainee, alongside Sean’s other Fire Investigation & Search Dogs, Harvey and Ruby.
Do you work your dog or dogs? If you would consider coming on the show, please get in touch with presenter Kate Fairweather on team@shineradio.uk or find us via facebook or instagram.

Meet E.T., (short for Endal III), a talented young labrador retriever and third in a line of exceptional assistance dogs. Handler and owner Allen Parton is a disabled ex-Royal Navy Chief Petty Officer, who founded the military assistance dog charity, Hounds for Heroes, in 2010.
Allen returned from the Gulf War in 1991 with a serious head injury to spend five years in hospital, following which he needed specialist day care. He tells Kate Fairweather about how Endal became his first, “accidental” assistance dog. In the early days, Allen was unable to communicate verbally and used signing alone to communicate with his dog. In the circumstances, it's quite moving to hear Allen describing his recovery - he's come a long way with the help of his hounds.
Endal was succeeded by E.J. (Endal Junior), whose death in Spring 2022 left E.T. (Endal III) in the hot seat! Together with Rookie, an experienced assessment dog, E.J. is already supporting Allen day to day. Allen explains how the assistance dogs in his life have given him purpose, transformed his health and helped his relationships. He also describes how the charity he founded helps other disabled servicemen and women.

A peaceful protest organised by Rural Refugee Network took place in Petersfield Square. Noni Needs captured the views of those taking part.
The protestors came to, in their words, "stand in solidarity with refugees and asylum seekers'.
The campaigners were there to protest against the Nationality and Borders Bill currently being considered in the House of Commons and Lords and to protest against the proposed shipping of immigrants to Rwanda for processing.
One protestor said she was there because "...silence will achieve nothing."
The government says the bill will protect people against slavery and human trafficking.

A Bunch of Amateurs! This will be the very first theatrical production at The Festival Hall, Petersfield, for over 2 years, and we can't wait to welcome you all back! Grab your tickets online at wintonplayers.org.uk, from the Visitor Centre at The Festival Hall and from One Tree Books.
We are delighted to be bringing this much-anticipated production to the stage this Spring. A Bunch of Amateurs began rehearsals in January 2020, and over 2 years later, it will finally take to the stage! If you haven't seen the show (or film) before, we thought you might appreciate a little synopsis...
Keen to boost his flagging career, fading Hollywood action hero, Jefferson Steele, arrives in England to play King Lear in Stratford, only to find that this is not the birthplace of the Bard, but a sleepy Suffolk village and the cast are a bunch of amateurs.
Jefferson's monstrous ego, vanity and insecurity are tested by the enthusiastic amateur thespians - who are not averse to a spot of ego, vanity and insecurity themselves. As acting worlds collide and Jefferson's career implodes, he discovers some truths about himself and his relationships with other people...along with his inner Lear!
A Bunch of Amateurs will be performed at Petersfield Festival Hall from 28th to 30th April 2022. Evening performances at 7.30 pm with a matinee at 2.30 pm on 30th April.

Relique of the Sunken Day is Teddy James' Debut novel.
Teddy James talks to Noni Needs about this historical fiction. In 1949, the Soviet Union successfully detonated its first atomic device, "drawing itself level with the Americans and supercharging the cold war."
The tests were carried out in what is now Kazakhstan. "It is a fictional story based on that true event. As the mushroom clouds continued to block out the Kazakh sun, Yani Chernenko, witness and collaborator in the those terrible events, ran."
Having thought this book might be assigned to the past, the lessons here, resonate to what is going on with the war in the Ukraine.

This month, we meet Simone Brainch from the UK charity Medical Detection Dogs.
Simone explains how the charity has developed since 2014, including its network of Medical Alert Assistance Dogs.
The charity's specially trained assistance dogs alert their owners to impending medical emergencies, such as hypo-glycemic episodes or even allergic reactions. These dogs work incredibly closely with their human partners to warn them of an impending health episode, giving them the time to make themselves safe.
It’s all down to the dogs’ amazing sense of smell - they are trained to identify tiny odour changes emitted by their owner before an emergency and alert the person to take preventative action.
Find out more at Medical Alert Assistance Dogs.
Explore other Dogs with Jobs episodes (and see photos!) on our website.

This is a companion to November 2021 episode, which featured hunting hound pups, Debit and Dervish.
The modern English Foxhound is one of the healthiest in the canine world. Bred for function rather than form, these supremely athletic hounds cover 15-20 miles of country in a working day. Depending on their hunting country, they might need strong back legs for hill work, overall muscular strength to navigate heavy plough, or speed for the hilly grassland of the South Downs.
Hound breeding expert Carolyn gives an overview of how bloodlines are tracked and how hunts collaborate on hound breeding. The hound stud books go back to 1800 and are a vital part of breed management. Carolyn, has overseen the hound breeding for one local hunt and is trustee for several others. She explains how breeding is managed and documented and how individual hunts cooperate to keep the gene pool healthy.
Jobs with Jobs presenter Kate Fairweather hears about the lure of the Peterborough (hound show) champion, how hunts cooperate with each other in drafting hounds between packs, and why no money changes hands.
If you would be interested in being featured with your dog or dogs on Dogs with Jobs, please get in touch with Kate Fairweather at shineradio.uk/dogswithjobs.
