While many of us like good dogs, a good horse is pretty cool too.

It was reported last year (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-york-north-yorkshire-40425159/yorkshire-miniature-horse-is-training-to-be-a-guide-horse) that Digby the miniature horse was in training to become the UK's first guide-horse.
Well now it seems he's hot to trot. Digby has been assigned to BBC journalist Mohammed Salim Patel. Patel is blind and has a fear of dogs, so Digby means for the first time in his life he can have a *guide animal.
