Martin Clunes: A Dog Called Laura

Martin Clunes sets out to explore the secret lives of Britain’s heroic army of guide dogs. The dog loving actor was inspired to make the documentary after hearing a podcast story of a blind woman whose life had been changed by her guide dog, but who now faces the daunting task of finding a new dog. Jaina Mistry was a teenager when she lost her sight following a freak reaction to penicillin. For the past decade, her ‘eyes’ have been a black Labrador cross called Laura, but now it is time for Laura to retire, allowing a younger dog to step in and steer Jaina.
