Canine partner Jason attracts the attention of the Prime Minister
Posted 8 years ago in the Events, Our partnerships categories
Jane Usher and canine partner Jason were surprised to find themselves face-to-face with Prime Minister David Cameron recently at the official opening of a new Recare clinic, showroom and office in Long Hanborough, Oxfordshire.
Jane was lucky enough to be invited to their grand opening for the company which supplies, services and repairs powerchairs. David Cameron is MP for Witney, the constituency in which Recare is based.
Thrilled Jane, who had no idea David Cameron was attending, said: “Nothing much was happening as we were seemingly waiting for someone who had yet to arrive, and as usual, Jason was having a lot of attention and being photographed by the professional photographer and many of the staff who had cameras or mobiles to hand. So when this ‘late arrival’ walked in who should it be but the Prime Minister! With his entourage of security of course.
“After being shown around the new premises he then came over to talk and remarked that I was in a well-used chair (seeing the quantity of mud which dog walking on muddy paths had created!) and asked some questions about my chair. He then looked down at Jason and asked who this young chap was. He asked what Jason did for me and was happy to crouch down and talk to him. Jason, as you can see from the photos, was very relaxed about the whole event and decided to hold David Cameron’s hand. We had a fun afternoon.”
Jason is certainly no stranger to attention. When he was a puppy he has had his photograph taken with Terry Wogan and also the Countess of Wessex. He has now been stroked by a celebrity, a royal and now the Prime Minister!
