Meet Buddy!

Meet Buddy!

What a little star!

Buddy is our newest recruit and he has had a rather extraordinary first day… he was asked to be on the set of This Morning TV! It was a very long and busy day meeting so many people at ITV’s studio, but he took it all in his tiny stride!

He has officially become the newest addition to the This Morning Family and he will be popping back into the studio on a regular basis to tell them all about his journey to becoming an Autism Assistance Dog. Tune in on Fridays to see how he is progressing

But in the meantime, watch his first day on set at the ITV This Morning studios:
