A charity that trains assistance dogs to support people with disabilities is appealing for volunteers to help look after puppies.
Dogs for Good puppy socialisers have been speaking to people in Milton Keynes this week about what they do to encourage others to get involved.
Puppy socialisers give pups basic obedience training and introduce them to a variety of different environments to build their confidence.
A dog is placed with their socialiser from seven weeks old until 16 months, when they go on to assistance dog training.
"Watching them work and watching the bonds grow between [assistance dogs and their client] is brilliant," says Yasmin Smyth, from Woburn Sands, who has been a puppy socialiser for 11 years.

Helen Bailey murder trial: Defence finishes summing up
Alex Pope
BBC Local Live
The defence team in the case of Ian Stewart, accused of killing Royston author Helen Bailey, have finished summing up at St Albans Crown Court.
Today the jury was told Mr Stewart, 56, was trapped in a "terrible nightmare" after being accused of a murder he did not commit.
His defence argued "others are guilty, not him", and it was two kidnappers called Nick and Joe who killed Ms Bailey.
Jurors heard the cesspit under the garage of their home on Baldock Road was the last place Mr Stewart would want to hide his bride-to-be.

Mr Stewart's team said "crucial" witness evidence demonstrated the Hertfordshire author was still alive beyond the date of the alleged murder.
Judge Andrew Bright has now started his summing up.
Mr Stewart denies murder, preventing a lawful burial, fraud, and three counts of perverting the course of justice.
An 86-year-old man has died after the car he was in hit a wall in Stevenage.
The victim, who lived in the town, died from his injuries after the black Vauxhall Vectra he was in struck the wall on Swingate, by the Ibis Hotel, at 08:40.

Kate Bradbrook

Workers at Vauxhall Motors in Luton say they're still waiting to hear anything official about a possible takeover by Peugeot.
Business Secretary Greg Clark says he's been given "assurances" by the French car giant, though he hasn't elaborated on what those assurances might be.

Staff at the plant today have told me they've faced similar uncertainty before, they feel a bit down, they don't know what's going on and generally the feeling inside is "not good".
