We’re so excited to announce that Dr Scott Miller, vet on This Morning and principal vet of the programme Vet On The Hill, has become an Ambassador for Dogs for Autism.
Having recently received his own autism diagnosis and as a parent of two autistic children, we are thrilled that he will now be an advocate for DfA whilst his own personal awareness of autism grows.
As a big believer in the strength and support that animals can provide, we are delighted that Dr Scott is now our charity ambassador and look forward to welcoming him to meet our amazing assistance dogs very soon.
