Meet Flash

In October 2021, we celebrated 90 years of helping people with sight loss live the life they choose.

As part of this, we created ‘Flash’. This short, animated film celebrates our amazing dogs, volunteers, and staff, who have been at the heart of our life-changing work since the beginning. 

Flash is named after one of the UK’s first four Guide Dogs who was partnered with World War One veteran, Alan Caldwell in 1931.

Flash, a cartoon Labrador puppy, is in a pouncing pose. She is looking upwards, has a smile on her face, and is holding her lead in her mouth.

Every amazing guide dog partnership starts with the support of people like you, to help puppies like Flash become the guide dog that could change someone’s life. Help more pups on their way to changing lives by supporting Guide Dogs today.

Real-life Flash!

To mark Guide Dogs 90th anniversary and the launch of our Flash film, we named one of our future life-changers after one of the first ever Guide Dogs.

Flash is now all grown-up! She has since become a guide dog mum, and lives at home with one of our incredible volunteers. In 2023, Flash gave birth to her first litter of puppies.
