The faithful pooch has just turned 11-years-old
An assistance dog named Martha walked a Northampton bride down the aisle on her "perfect" wedding day. Newlyweds Tracey Kesterton and Martin Farrant tied the knot in May at St Alban the Martyr Church in Northampton.
"She etches my shoes and clothes when needed, helps get the laundry to the washing machine, empties the washing machine; gets items off supermarket shelves for me; opens and closes doors...the list is endless! If it's fun, or she gets 'paid' in food, she's happy!"When it came to Martha’s role in Tracey and Martin’s big day, there was no doubt she would play a part in the official duties.
"She didn't put a paw wrong, I could've cried, I was so proud of her! It helped that Canine Partners' dogs are so well trained, and our aftercare worker came down to help me train Martha to walk down the aisle. Martha made the day perfect, I can't imagine the wedding without her." “After the photographs, we walked to the adjacent church hall where I took Martha's 'work' jacket off - this is a signal to her she's not officially working now. Her concentration when her jacket's on is immense! We gave Martha her dinner before we went into the reception to greet our guests, who had been greeted with a glass of bubbly.
"We're trained not to feed them food from our plates, as it teaches them to 'beg' which isn't good if you're in a restaurant somewhere But we knew many people feed their pets scraps from the table, and we wanted to avoid that instinct.”
