Puppy from Beech charity Dogs for Autism enjoys classical music
Paul Coates
A puppy had a taste of classical music as part of his training by Beech charity Dogs for Autism.
Its founder – violinist Hilary Armour – took ten-week-old golden retriever JJ to her Basingstoke Symphony Orchestra rehearsal.
He heard Saint-Saens’ Danse Macabre and Rossini’s William Tell Overture.
Hilary said: “Part of autism assistance training involves ensuring a dog is socialised from a very early age, so my rehearsal offered us a perfect opportunity for JJ to experience new sights, sounds and people. The conductor and players were all very happy to have him there.”
