Medical Detection dog, Shirley - the Labrador which detects low blood sugar levels in seven-year old Rebecca from Northampton who has aggressive type 1 diabetes. She is the first Blood Sugar Detection Dog in the UK to be allowed into a main stream primary school and performs the potentially life saving task of detecting a possible hypoglycemic attack which could leave Rebecca in a coma.

Assistance dog, Kaiser - the Golden Retriever/Poodle cross and Canine Partners Assistance Dog from Shropshire, who helps his owner, Joanne Day to cope with dystonia. This neurological disorder causes muscle spasms and leaves her body contorted and fixed into abnormal positions, causing others to dub her 'flamingo woman'. Kaiser gives her the confidence to leave the house and meet new people and helps with everyday tasks, such as dressing and picking things up, that Jo otherwise finds difficult to perform.
