The owner of a guide dog in Edinburgh has spoken of their apprehension and anxiety as Guy Fawkes night approaches this weekend.
Elaine MacKenzie, who relies on her guide dog Tessy to lead an independent life, says that she fears that with the pandemic in the rear view mirror, firework displays may become more commonplace.
She stated that Tessy has been relatively calm when she has heard loud bangs on November 5 but says that her previous dog, Una, became terrified of fireworks after someone let one off under a bridge whilst she was on a walk at the Water of Leith.
