Adorable pup-one of 13 named after a bakery treat - settles into new home
An adorable puppy from Guide Dogs' largest litter in three years is settling into her new home.
The 13 puppies were given baking-themed names inspired by sweet and savoury treats, in honour of the charity's Guide Dogs Puppy Appeal, which encourages members of the public to fundraise and donate during October.
Eccles, a 12-week-old labrador cross golden retriever, is now learning the ropes with her volunteer puppy raisers Sandra McDerment and Judith Midgley in Bridge of Allan.
Sandra and Judith, both retired, already raise guide dog puppy Yardley, now almost 18 months old.
Sandra said: "Yardley and Eccles adored each other from the moment they met and this has helped her to settle in really quickly.
"They snuggle up together and are best playmates, which is adorable to watch. They have a bed each but choose to share.
