Guide dog becomes star at red carpet events

This adorable footage shows an unexpected guest strutting his stuff down some of the UK’s most exclusive events – turning the heads of red-carpet guests and West End actors.

The guide dog, named Bill, stole the show at events including the Pride of Britain awards, the National Chef of the Year awards and on stage at the musical The Devil Wears Prada.

He was spotted with former Love Island contestant Faye Winter, and former Desperate Housewives and Ugly Betty star Vanessa Williams, who plays the iconic role of Miranda Priestly, in the new The Devil Wears Prada musical.

Bill’s surprise appearances were part of an "Unexpected Bills" campaign for Guide Dogs to raise awareness of the rising costs of pet ownership.

The charity is asking people to support its Guide Dogs Puppy Appeal campaign [https://www.guidedogs.org.uk/guide-dogs-appeal/] to raise money for its life-changing work and provide dogs to those who need them, amid rising costs for the dogs in their care.

A Guide Dogs spokesperson said: “Our recently qualified guide dog, Bill, has been amazing at spreading awareness about the financial pressures impacting us as a charity, but also for dog owners across the country.

“Bill has been a very good boy, and I’m sure he will continue to be. And who knows, he may pop up in other places when you least expect him, too.”
