Chris tells how Bohhy the guide dog is invaluable


COPING with disability was the topic that was brought to life when children at Bowland Montessori Pre- School were visited by Chris Tattersall and his guide dog, Bobby. Chris, who has been blind


for many years, shared with the youngsters ways of coping with visual im­ pairment. For example, if ne wants to catch a bus, he tells Bobby "bus sta­ tion" and Bobby guides him there. When crossing the road, Chris-can listen for cars, but Bobby can also watch out for bicycles. The children were fas­


cinated by Chris' talking vvatch and the gadget for telling him vvhen his tea mug is full enough. All the children took ad­


vantage of the invitation to stroke Bobby, who in turn revelled in the atten­ tion. Bobby has been with Chris for six years and has another five good working years to go b ^ re he retires from guiding. Bobby has his work cut out os Chris has o busy life. He teaches Braille in Blackburn and is a keen Rovers supporter. Pre-school leader Nan­


cy Bigmore said: "Many thanks to Chris and Bobby for giving the children an insight into the challenges of living with blindness." . There is also a visit


planned from Bury Tan­ dem Club for the Visually Impaired. The tandem crew will comprise a sighted "pi­ lot" and a blind "stoker".
