The folks in Corby had a very important visitor who likes to express their love through an abundance of licks and tail wags… Bisket the dog! Bisket couldn’t have been more popular if he tried. He enjoyed plenty of strokes, cuddles, and most importantly, biscuits. The people we support treated Bisket very gently and with lots of love, and having not had pets to visit until now - it was huge a success. The guys can’t wait for Bisket’s next visit, and neither can Bisket himself! 🐶
