Loyal guide dog gets owner home before it dies

A loyal guide dog defied death to ensure his owner made it home safely from a 120-mile trip.

Comet the Labrador retriever battled through agonising pain so that David Quarmby, 61, got back from Birmingham to Newsomenear Huddersfield, via Manchester.

Minutes after they arrived at Mr Quarmby’s home on Edale Avenue, Comet collapsed and died from a tumour.



Mr Quarmby said: “He got me off the bus, across the road and up the drive.

“As soon as we got home, I took his harness off, he took a couple of sniffs and collapsed.

“Comet was a brave and marvellous dog who will be missed enormously.”
