Saundersfoot guide dog volunteer celebrates Lifetime award
Eva Rich, from Saundersfoot, received a Lifetime of Service award in an event in Cardiff coinciding with Volunteers Week.
Andrew Lennox, Guide Dogs' chief executive, announced that Ms Rich has been a guide dog owner for 63 years with seven guide dogs throughout her life.
The names of each dog were read out during the ceremony.
Ms Rich revealed to the audience her anticipation of being paired with guide dog number eight, following the withdrawal of Nancy, a Labrador cross retriever.
Pembrokeshire's collection box coordinator, Lynn Knibbs, accompanied Mrs Rich at the event, where they were presented with a bouquet, badge, commemorative plate imprinted with a guide dog image, as well as a certificate.
