When David met David: The star and the 10,000th guide dog puppy.

TV star David Walliams met his very special namesake this week as the charity Guide Dogs celebrated a landmark puppy.

Yellow Labrador David is the 10,000th pup born since the opening of the charity’s state-of-the-art National Breeding Centre and he has been named after the popular comedian, actor, author, and presenter.

The ten-week-old pup paid the Britain’s Got Talent judge a visit at his north London home and the pair got on famously. David said: “It’s a huge thrill to have a guide dog puppy named David after me, I’m just sorry I don’t have a more memorable name!

Puppy David will now go on to complete around 20 months of specialised training before being partnered with someone who has sight loss.
